I was going to suggest reading the "related websites" page on the flightgear website but it surprisingly doesn't seem to mention FGSD - perhaps something that could be remedied when "someone" has the time ? :-) > What I mean by visual tools is something that will let me drag my building > to where I want it.

Anyway, you should perhaps read the documentation, there's a mountain of useful stuff there. On the Wiki for example there's a page that looks ideally suited to your needs - http://wiki.flightgear.org/flightgear_wiki/index.php?title=Modeling_-_Getting_Started In particular you might like to investigate the "UFO" model placement method mentioned there. You should be aware though that if you just drop things where they "look right" rather than placing them at the correct latitude and longitude you risk them looking wrong if the scenery is regenerated with more accurate data.
