Thanks Matthias. A massive step in the right direction 🙂 ... View more

The attached image shows a block with individual lots. You'll see that some of the buildings don't run parallel to two boundaries of the lot, therefore the building doesn't sit squarely. I've highlighted the two boundaries edges (blue) that i would like the building boundaries (red) to align to. So in other words i would like the two red edges to be parallel to the two blue edges on the lots I've marked. The lots i haven't marked look fine, so I'm not to bothered.

Ah, I didn't notice that cga files aren't valid attachments. I've pasted the code below attr Building_Height =   9 attr Front_Yard_Depth =  10 attr Rear_Yard_Depth =   10 attr Side_Yard_Depth =   5 attr Roof_Angle =    20 attr Roof_Overhang =   1 attr Floors =    (Building_Height/6) attr Rotation =    0 @Hidden attr lotArea =     0 @Hidden attr bldgArea =    0 @Hidden attr Floor_Height =   (Building_Height/Floors) @Hidden attr bldgVolume =   0 @StartRule Lot --> innerRect() SetBack SetBack --> case (geometry.area() > 4500):   report("Lots.largest",1)   DoSetbacks(1.3) case (geometry.area() > 3500 && geometry.area() <= 4500):   report("Lots.larger",1)   DoSetbacks(1.2) case (geometry.area() > 1800 && geometry.area() <= 2500):   report("Lots.smaller",1)   DoSetbacks(0.8) case (geometry.area() < 1800):   report("Lots.smallest",1)   DoSetbacks(0.5) else:   report("Lots.middle",1)   DoSetbacks(1) DoSetbacks(reduceSetbackPercent) --> set(lotArea,geometry.area()) setback(Front_Yard_Depth * reduceSetbackPercent) { street.front: NIL | remainder:   setback(Rear_Yard_Depth * reduceSetbackPercent) { street.back: NIL | remainder:    setback(Side_Yard_Depth * reduceSetbackPercent) { street.side: NIL | remainder:    BuildableArea(reduceSetbackPercent)    }   } } BuildableArea(BlgHeightRatio) --> case (BlgHeightRatio == 1.3):   Up(1.3) case (BlgHeightRatio == 1.2):   Up(1.2) case (BlgHeightRatio == 1):   Up(1) case (BlgHeightRatio == 0.8):   Up(0.9) case (BlgHeightRatio == 0.5):   Up(0.8) else:   Up(1) Up(Height)--> set(bldgArea,geometry.area()) extrude(Building_Height*Height) set(bldgVolume,geometry.volume) report("Floorspace area (m2)",(bldgArea*Floors)) report("Lot Area (m2)",lotArea)   report("Max Building Footprint (m2)",bldgArea)   report("GFA Potential (m3)",bldgVolume/Floor_Height)   report("FAR Potential",bldgVolume/Floor_Height/lotArea) ResidentialBlock ResidentialBlock --> comp(f) { top: Type | all : Side } Type --> roofGable(Roof_Angle, Roof_Overhang, Roof_Overhang) Side --> A. ...

Very true. I guess that's why I'm struggling to come up with a way of automating it. I've attached my code so far. I originally just had setbacks to create my buildings, but this creates odd shaped buildings (triangular) as it depends on the shape of the lot as to how the building looks. So what I'm trying to do is only have buildings that have right angles, but then also have this sitting within a lot that looks realistic. What i was trying to originally do was set the set the scope's rotation to be the same as the lots, but i couldn't get this to work. ... View more

Hi Matthias, I've attached two images which show a before and after of what i would like to happen. In the before image you can see that the building doesn't sit parallel to the lot boundaries furtherest away from the street. [ATTACH=CONFIG]27984[/ATTACH] In the after image below the building sits parallel with the lot boundaries away from the street. [ATTACH=CONFIG]27988[/ATTACH] I'm using innerRect to create the initial building footprint, but would like to change it's orientation to fit the lot better. (Liek what's seen in the after image) Hope this makes more sense 🙂 Steve ... View more

Hi, What locator fields would i use if i was in Australia? The following doesn't work for me: LocatorFieldValues: ["AUS.StreetName", "AUS.PointAddress", "AUS.StreetAddress"] Thank you, Steve ... View more

Did manage to get an answer to this? The tool crashes when i try to use it. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit with ArcGIS 10 sp5 ... View more

Hi Robert, Thanks for the reply. I've used fiddler to look for any processes crashing or being blocked, but nothing is getting flagged. Everything is working...according to fiddler anyway. It works on my internal server (desktop box), but it's failing on my external server (amazon cloud). Therefore i'm assuming it's a setting in the cloud, do you know any settings i could try? Cheers again ... View more

Hi Robert, I'm using the 3.0 version with version 10 on a https service. The problem i'm having is when you expand the legend layers out at the lowest level there is no legend displying. It works on our internal server, but when i put it on the cloud it doesn't appear anymore. I've attached a screen shot. [ATTACH=CONFIG]15550[/ATTACH] Thanks, Steve ... View more
