How to convert 'ShapeO' to 'SetbackToArea'

JINHWANJUN — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 00:40:48 GMT

Hi, im student of Urban Planning & Design.

i got CGA Rule file. that makes each floor building setback.

but, this rule contains ShapeO Operation.

ShapeO Operation work with setback distance.

but, i don't fix setback distance exactly.

Instead of a distance, I want to setback a certain area(through SetbackToArea).

In the ShapeO Operation Doc, maybe ShapeO can convert setback option.

https://doc.arcgis.com/en/cityengine/latest/cga/cga-shapeo.htm

i tried through this Doc, but i failed to convert.

So, i wanna change How to convert 'ShapeO' to 'SetbackToArea'.

I will attach it below 'ShapeO' original CGA Rule File Code.

P.s What's mean 'Floor.' ? i don't understand why 'Floor.' is there.

I'd really appreciate it if you could answer.
