Heads-up: FileGDB import bug in CityEngine 2014.1 (short int fields imported as boolean object attributes)

Question

Dear CityEngine users,

Unfortunately, a bug was introduced in the FileGDB importer of CityEngine 2014.1.1703 which imports short int field data as boolean object attributes instead of number attributes. We take this very seriously and are preparing an update.

In the mean time, please use the workaround described in this ArcGIS knowledge base article to create long int values of any short int field data: 34315 - Change the data type for an existing field‌. long int fields will be correctly read by CityEgine 2014.1.1703.

Please accept our apologies for the inconveniences caused by this bug.

Kind regards,

the CityEngine dev team.
