 selection of a house to digitise will be in the map area when 3D vector
 and visualisation is done. The first house I picked was outside of the
 elevation map and subsequently wasn't in the 3D visualisation, so had to
 start again.

 I've tested this a little bit in Wingrass.

 under
 http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/HowToTestGrass6#SeeAlso

 there are some examples for raster, vector, image processing and
 interpolation actions (grasstestrast.txt, grasstestvect.txt,
 grasstestinterp.txt, grasstestimg.txt).

 most of them are working under Wingrass.

 if you are assuming in the windows world the default is the WinGrass-WxGUI
 (only with the wx-gui-commandline and without a msys-command-line or any
 other command-line), following are not working in the examples:

 - d.erase: it's not implemented in the wx-gui-command-line, you have to
 use the erase-button in the wx-gui

 - there are some examples where ''echo'' is used (e.g. echo "634886 224328
 1"|v.in.ascii out=fire_pt fs=space), this isn't working from the wx-gui-
 command-line
