Configureing City Engine web scene attribute display

CurtPope

Is there any way to configure the attribute display when you click on an object in a City Engine Web Scene? We have attributes we would like to not show when we share the scene. And i can't find any menus to confiure the display.

Yes, there is an export option to define if Object Metadata is shared.

The settings are

• None
• Attributes
• Reports
• All

So in case you only want to share a subset of the attributes, there are 2 options:

1. Prior to export, delete the unwanted attributes with a Python script:
   

   deleteAttribute<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>self<SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> objects<SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> name<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Deletes the named object attribute<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; @param objects<SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN> The objects to delete the attribute <SPAN class="keyword token">from</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN> 
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; @param name<SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN> The attribute name<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>&nbsp; <SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>str<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN>
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; @note<SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN> <SPAN class="comment token"># delete the attribute height from the currently selected objects</SPAN>
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ce<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>deleteAttribute<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>ce<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>selection<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">'height'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

   Us share "All" as export setting
2. Link the desired object attributes to rule attributes and report them. Then only share "Reports".
