Select Streets or Sidewalks based on width

Question

Hi all,

I'm hoping this one is relatively straightforward - I've looked through documentation and articles but couldn't quite find an answer.

I'm looking to automatically select streets or sidewalks based on their widths (actually, within a certain range of widths), so I can apply certain attributes using the complete streets rules.

This seems like a job for a python script?

Wondering if any has any suggestions for this.

Matt

Works like a charm. Thank you!

Yes, my bad.

just include a "/" at the beginning of the attribute name in the last line to look like this "/ce/street/streetWidth"

Should work now.

@plfontes - thank you for the quick response on this. This does look like what I'm looking for, however it isn't currently working so I think I'm missing a step somewhere along the way..

I've created a new python module (with your code), in the same cityengine project as the scene file - for testing's sake I've tried very large values (0 to 1500) and smaller ones (0 to 15).

When I run the script (Python > Run Script?), no streets are selected. In the screenshot below I've manually selected one of the streets with a width of 10, so this should in theory be selected by the script.

Can you see any steps I've missed here?
