Basically, the transform from POV-Ray to Moray (or from Moray to POV-Ray) is 
very simple. The only thing you have to do is to add two commands to the (I 
suppose) union englobing your city:

scale <1, 1, -1>
rotate <90, 0, 0>

That's all.

When using the POVInclude plugin, the advanced option you mention is only 
used for the placeholder box visible in Moray and containing the POV-Ray 
object. There is a pdf tutorial available for this plugin. If you are 
interested, I can post it in moray.binaries.
