Exporting Data from City Engine into ArcGIS Pro's Attribute Table

Richie5678 — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 08:23:19 GMT

Hello! I have created a artificial city using the rules files provided in the ESRI Library, but now I need to present some data about the city. I have exported the 3D Models into ESRI GDB, however i realized that the building height that I edited in the rule files are not reflected in the object attributes, thus it does not show up in the attribute table in ArcGIS Pro.

Is there a way I can make a new object attribute to read the building heights for city I made or a way for me to export the building height out to add into the attribute table in ArcGIS Pro

Hi @Richie5678,

Yes this is possible using cga reports in combination with a script based export (python). There is an example you can adapt in this thread:

Hope this helps,
