CityEngine Scene with WGS84 EPSG:4326

Question

I want to export my CityEngine models directly to WGS84 Is it possible? I want to export for example gltf models (glb) with the  information about the placement in WGS84, but in that case I would expect the scene to be in EPSG:4326 which is not available or
I can't find it on the list.
Is it even possible?

Thanks

Hi @KennethLindhardt1

Have you tried using CGA to report the spherical latitude/longitude coordinates (WGS84) of the scope's origin with the getGeoCoord function? Tutorial 12: Scripted report export—ArcGIS CityEngine Resources | Documentation then shows you how to write out a file with positioning info for each exported Model.

Hi @KennethLindhardt1,

WSG84 lat/lon coordinates are not supported in CityEngine.

Where do you want to have the assets in the end? You will for sure need an additional tool in the process for conversion.

Thank you Dan.

No, it was directly from CityEngine.

I will update my post more meaningful 🙂
