+\subsection{Scenery Work Space}
+
+The scenery is constructed in a directory structure that parallels the
+final structure.  The structure looks something like the following:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+  Scenery/ ->
+    w140n50/ ->
+    w140n60/ ->
+    w150n50/ ->
+      w141n59/ ->
+      w142n59/ ->
+      w148n59/ ->
+        533872.gz
+        533873.gz
+        533874.gz
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Beneath the scenery subdirectory is a series of subdirectories
+representing 10x10 degree chunks.  Each directory is named after the
+lower left hand corner of the area it contains.
+
+Beneath each of the 10x10 degree subdirectories is a subdirectory for
+each 1x1 degree area.  Within each of these 1x1 degree subdirectories,
+is a file for each tile.  The file name is the tile's unique numeric
+index number.  There can be multiple files per tile.  When this is
+needed, all files relating to a tile will have the same numeric root
+for the file name.
+
 \subsection{Preprocessing tools}
 
+The preprocessing tools are responsible for inputing raw world data,
+clipping it to the appropriate scenery tiles, outputing it into the
+workspace directory tree.
+
+The scenery assembly and creation tools work on each tile
+individually, so they expect all the relevant information for a tile
+to already be there.

+The file naming scheme is tile\_index.polygon\_id where tile\_index is

+unique id for the corresponding polygon.  Each polygon is assigned a
+unique id before it is clipped against tile boundaries.  Later we will
+need to match up the edges of polygons with the pieces from the
+neighboring tiles and this unique polygon id will enable us to do
+this.  Each polygon that is written out (no matter what the source or
