What im wanting to do, is for my game (im designing it now, and working through problems such as this), its going to be from a more iso view (ie cant see sky or anything) and so im going to use a quadtree for the terrain, and I want to be able have it ''flow'' from outdoors (like hilly etc terrian) into say a building, but now im wondering how im going to render it, because the building would be loaded from a heightmap (so I can easily make/have like straight lines for for walls, with desks and stuff being small models), the indoor terrian would require that the walls be flat (for lighting I mean) so would need to be rendered as a triangle list for all the normals to be correct, but then how would I do the terrain? would I also have to render that as a triangle list and not a tri strip or tri fan? is this a bad thing? comments?
PS. im using D3D if that matters...
