Yes, I can see all the basic components objects in the Library DAT files -- am aware of the center on object button.

What I'm talking about are the "Locations" DAT files (..\data\terrain\Locations\*.DAT) that define an entire harbor. I want to be able to view the entire harbor in 3D as defined by these DAT files, but the "Location" DAT files are templates referencing the placement of Library DAT objects; not the objects themselves. Hence I cannot see the entire harbor in S3D -- most likely because S3D does not have a reference back to the location of the object DAT files in ..\data\Library.

I was wondering if there is a way to view an entire harbor as defined in the "Locations" DAT files using S3D or even some other tool. Obviously, whoever built these harbors had to have reference back to the Library DAT objects and had to be able to SEE what they were building in order to create the "Location" DAT files that define complete harbors.

Bottom line is I'm looking to take an existing harbor and modify it to create new harbors rather than starting from scratch.
