Batch import and export to multiple heightmaps (.tif) using cityengine python API.

Question

I want to batch import and export batches of multiple heightmaps (.tif) using cityengine python API. Has anyone encountered this problem? I'd appreciate it if anyone could point me to how to do this.

hi again,

First, you should clean up your script:

* 2x ce = CE()
* 2x if __name__ == '__main__':

Then you need also to define how you want to  export terrains in your FBXExportModelSettings() e.g. if you want to export all:

ems.setTerrainLayers(ems.TERRAIN_ALL)

Created scrapbook for fbx batch export of all terrain in 3D view. But it doesn't work. What's the problem?

layers = ce.getObjectsFrom(ce.scene(), ce.isLayer)
for layer in layers:
objects = ce.getObjectsFrom(layer, ce.isShape)
ems = FBXExportModelSettings()
ems.setOutputPath(ce.toFSPath(r"filepath"))
#set other options
ce.setSelection(objects)
ce.export(objects, ems)

if __name__ == '__main__':
pass

hi there,

I don't have a complete solution, but I suggest having a look at this links in the python docs:

* addAttributeLayer
* ImageExportTerrainSettings

hope this points you into the right direction!
