Applying an attribute map to a model element

MilosMandic

Hi,

I went through a CityEngine tutorial for applying colors from an attribute map to attributes in a cga rule file.
My problem is that when I try to apply attributes from a color map to parts of a model it doesn't work.

e.g. I take a single Lot and subdivide it into smaller lots (SLots) via split rule. Then I define some attributes for SLots and try to
control them through an attribute map, it doesnt work.

Do attribute maps work only on shapes?
If they do, how could I overcome this problem? (without exploding a model into shapes)

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

yes, that is a current limitation. subshapes in the model hierarchy can not yet sample themselves. sadly.

means the start shape only samples ONCE ( in the centroid ) and then, those attribute values stay constant for all subshapes.


ok ?
