Hmm, maybe I could just export flat lots/streets as a separate model and then invert the normals on that.  I will give it a shot. ... View more

Thank you for the response.  I have, and I am still experimenting with it, but let me explain why I think it isn't the best solution for me right now.  I am working with a 10 sq km terrain.   I am experimenting with using the entire full resolution 9938x9938 heightmap and also trying to find a good way of just using a small part of the heightmap where the city will be generated.  I am guessing I will need to use the full resolution heightmap for the most accurate representation after CityEngine has aligned the terrain to the city. The CityEngine models will only be used in a couple of different places on that terrain.  The terrain is prodedurally generated in Unity3D and uses RayCasts pointing vertically upwards to shape the terrain when the raycasts collide with an appropriate collider. If I can build a mesh that is equivalent to the bottom of the city and put the collider on it, the procedural terrain generator will be able to shape the terrain under and immediately surrounding the city just as I want.  This makes it simple for me to move the city around anywhere on the terrain and the generator will just match things up. Anyway, I am working my way through the tutorials and I am pretty sure it's possible to do what I want, but I'm just not proficient enough with CGA yet to do it. ... View more
