Patrol paths are the trickiest. There's no easy way to show the connection from flag to another. It might be possible with multiple chains used for rigging but that's not very comfortable to deal with. | Patrol paths are the trickiest.

AKEV data and extracted console mesh have different polygon IDs and point IDs. Identifying each point by position (taking tolerances into account) and then identifing the quads and triangles would take too long.
