Hello,
in deegree3 tools, there is a class
org.deegree.tools.rendering.manager.buildings.generalisation.WorldObjectSimplifier,
which creates a convex hull of the 2D-Projection (ground level) of the
original, and creates 'vertical' walls on this convex hull, it is not a
real simplification though.
If this might be of interest to you please ask further questions
regarding this tool on the deegree-users list:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/deegree-users
Kind regards,
Judit
