<p class=MsoNormal>Hello All! <br>
<br>
You have a great community here for openlayers users. I have a question, if
anyone knows of a way to accomplish what I want to do. <br>
<br>
Basically I want to make a map of our office building, as the interior is
highly complex (none of the hallways are parallel nor perpendicular to the
exterior walls!). So I am aiming to create a 3d scene of the building with the
roof cut off, and then place that as a 'background', so I can then set up
points of interest on the map. The end goal is to help new employees find their
way around the building, as most people get lost, even if they've been here a
few weeks/months :) <br>
<br>
So can I make OpenLayers skip the whole GPS-based earth map and use my own flat
scene as a background on which I can start building my map? The whole thing
should be deceptively simple and will use only select features from OL.<br>
<br>
I'm a beginner but am not afraid to go through tutorials and explore on my own,
so any help would be appreciated. Thank you. <br>
<br>
