Designate Multiple Street Edges

Question

Hi all,

I know I can designate multiple edges as street edges in CityEngine using the Set Street Edges tool. But I'm wondering if I can further distinguish the street edges so that I can have different setbacks depending on the street type the edge is facing. I'm looking for a workflow that can automate this process if possible.

Any pointers are greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Note that to access the streetWidth object attribute, you can create a rule attribute with a parameter for the index like this: attr streetWidth(i) = 0‍ Then, you can access the street width values by specifying the index as the parameter: print(streetWidth(0)) // print first street width in list‍

On second thought, when I read your other post, I realized that doing setbacks of different distances according to street width is not that easy, especially when you have lot shapes with rounded corners.  Here is the link to my reply to the other post:

I don't know about Pro or GeoPlanner, but you can certainly export object attributes when you export the shapes, for example, to a GDB file.  Make sure that "Export object attributes" is checked in the FileGDB dialog.
