Scratch that, for some strange reason, it's working now. Very strange how Esri products have been finicky all these years. It's amazing how waiting the next day or switching a computer will be the deciding factor on if a geoprocessing works or not.  ... View more

Here are images to show. First image is attribute table after the join and removing unwanted fields. Second is the shapefile that was exported after the join. ... View more

Dan, I did feature class to feature class. No features were selected upon export. I took the tables from the Census ACS detailed tables gdb and joined them to block groups. I then turned off the fields I didn't want (since there are so many) and tried to export with just the visible fields. The fields stayed, but the records dropped with all 0s. ... View more

I was able to find a workaround- converting graphs to shapes and then applying colors to the shapes with a rule file, however, if someone still has any recommendations on how to go about creating a rule file that can treat polygon coloring/symbology like it is in ArcMap with an outline and a fill, that would be great. ...

I'd like to bump this thread. I'm currently working off a 64-bit OS with 32GB of RAM and an NVIDIA Quadro K2000 graphics card with the drivers all up-to-date. I've noticed in the few years I've been using CityEngine that no matter how small or simple a scene gets (and this is even with all the improvements from CE 2012 to CE 2017.1), that my projects still continue to choke. I know I don't have the newest or most expensive graphics card, but it should be good enough to create the types of scenes I'm doing. It seems that the way CityEngine was written/created doesn't fully utilize the processing power of the GPU. I've given up on using photo-realistic textures for my buildings as just a half square mile of a scene was too much. These days, I just use color for models to create the analysis or effects I want, but even sometimes using 5 or more colors on models in the same layer will choke a scene. This software is great because there's truly nothing else out there like it, however, all these years later, I'm still noticing some major processing limitations. ... View more

Hi Chris, I have followed your example to a T but with my own qualitative attributes to set colors to, and it says unexpected token on the first case, any idea what's going on? ... View more

Hi Matt, is there anyway to expand the color ramp function to more than 5 breaks? ... View more

LR, I found the colorRamp utility function here: colorRamp function—Esri CityEngine | ArcGIS Desktop  This is what I was looking for, however, my range is very large (min=0, max=39,500) and the default is only 5 breaks. Do you know how to add more breaks? With only 5, every single shape except for one is showing up in the same color. ... View more

Hi Dan, thanks for the information. What I'm trying to do is show how hot our streets are to get more trees planted on our sidewalks. Some of our streets have great tree canopy, so I wanted to show how those streets are cooler for pedestrians than the streets without or with little tree coverage. With that in mind, is solar radiation good enough to display and back up my claims that more tree canopy will help? I hope this makes sense. ... View more

Hey Robert, I actually tried that originally and wasn't entirely confident in the results that came back. It was probably more so the data I was using rather than the process itself. I realized I should have been using 2010 census data rather than the 2014 estimates. What I ended up doing was selecting by location having their centroids within. May not be as fancy, but the results came back closer to what I was expecting. Thanks for the input, though! ... View more
