What is the maximum data extent in CityEngine?

Question

I get the message "The data extent is to large. Reduce the extent of the data".  So what is the maximum data extent?

I guess it's a function of the base unit of the coordinate system.  It would be good to know how to calculate it so I can remove an element of trial and error from my work.

(For the sake of argument I usually work in 'Raw data in metres'.)

Yes I get the message in new/empty scene but obviously, as the message suggests, only with data that covers a large extent.

Hi Ben

Do you get the message when importing data in an new/empty scene?

Thanks

I know there is another way to increase the size of the project by increasing the size of free memory (bottom right corner of CityEngine)
