sunlight analysis in CityEngine

deleted-user-jUisRiKzLsWy — Wed, 02 Jan 2019 21:57:05 GMT

I want to do sunlight analysis and sky view factor analysis with my high-rise buildings. I looked for many tutorials and they told me to transfer the data from CityEngine to ArcGIS to do the 3D analysis. Does the CityEngine have a function to directly execute sunlight analysis or SVF analysis? I occasionally saw a paper that it did! But I cannot find it...... I am just a starter so very confused right now. Does anyone know how to do? I would be very grateful for any advice! Thanks to all of you and happy new year.

I´m not sure

But did you see these tutorials? Using ArcGIS Pro

Calculate Solar Radiation | ArcGIS Solutions for Local Government

Visibility Assessment | ArcGIS Solutions for Local Government

Cityengine has the Visibility Analysis Tool Help -

...yes, visibility tools (View Dome) might help regarding SVF. Unfortunately CityEngine currently does not offer sunlight (shadow) analysis tools.

The solution is no longer available (see screen below). Do u have some suggestions to perform 3D visibility analysis and solar radiation or maybe you still have the solution file.
