After contacting Tech Support, I got this answer, which solved my problem. After various testing it seems that there may be an issue with publishing an spk to ArcGIS Online if it was created in a version of CityEngine previous to 2016.1. In order to determine if this is the case can you please complete the following test: 1. Upgrade your software to CityEngine 2016.1. This is the most current version and can be found in My Esri -> My Organizations -> Downloads -- Make sure you uninstall any previous versions including 2016.0 2. Use your shapefile and rule file to recreate your spk again from scratch using 2016.1 3. Now try publishing to ArcGIS Online ... View more

Hi Russell,  It has to be a hosted scene layer package to add to Scene, but when  I create a scene layer package from CityEngine 2016.0, I cannot add/share to ArcGIS Online my content.I get error messages. Any thoughts. Thank you, Dulini ... View more

Hi Linda, You need a conditional statement as Thomas mentioned but I would use attribute data to extrude buildings foot prints, which is less complex.I am also working on a similar rule. Call me if you need any help. Dulini ... View more

Hi David, My rule is little bit complicated.I want to change the footprint area as setback parameters changes. If you check the code below, I want to populated the Area2 with the number from AREAS2 at "reports" . attr AREA = geometry.area #PARCEL AREA @Group("SetBacks:") attr frontSetback = 10 attr backSetback = 5 attr sideSetback = 3 attr FAR = 0 @Group("Area:" ) attr GFloor = AREA*FAR #GROSS FLOOR AREA BASE ON PROVIDED FAR attr LCover = AREA2 #LOT COVERED BY THE BUILDING(if get from shapefile) @Group("Heights: ") attr GFHeight = 5.5 attr UFHeight = 3.5 @Range ("transparent", "as is", "top and side") attr vizMode = "as is" @StartRule Parcel --> set ( AREA, geometry.area ) report ("AREA", AREA) setback(frontSetback) { street.front : NIL | remainder : setback(backSetback) { street.back : NIL | remainder : setback(sideSetback) { street.side : NIL | remainder : FootprintReach } } } attr AREA2 = 0 #FOOTPRINT AREA attr buildingHeight = GFloor/AREA2*UFHeight FootprintReach --> set(AREA2, geometry.area) report("AREA2", geometry.area) extrude(world.y, GFloor/AREA2*UFHeight) split(y) { GFHeight : Volume("GF") | ~1 : UpperFloors } UpperFloors --> split(y) { ~ UFHeight : Volume("UF") } * Volume(volumeType) --> case volumeType == "GF" : color(0,1,0) Visualization else : color(0,0,1) Visualization Visualization --> case vizMode == "as is" : Done. case vizMode == "transparent" : set (material.opacity, 0.8 ) Done. else : comp(f) {top : Top. | side : Side. | all : NIL } Thank you.

Thank you David. I am trying to create massing for each parcel based on lot coverage and FAR , but the it should consider the setbacks to determine the building footprint area to get the building height. As you mentioned, footprint area needs to be input to parcel rule, so how do I set global variables? Thank you again. Dulini ... View more
