Hello,

If I want to create a parking lot with plenty of parking spaces for cars in a plot
Is there any rule for this, that can be made ?

Regards,

Hi !

There's no rule for this yet available, but this should be possible.

Can you post 2,3 reference images ?

Hi !

Yes, such a rule can be created. That's not very complicated.

Are you already a little familiar with CGA ? Already did some scripting yourself ?

apologies for resurrecting such an old post, but I would like to create a similar thing. However, I am a complete novice when it comes to CGA and scripting. I have followed the tutorials but still struggle.

Your last past did not make any sense to me.

I'd be trying to recreate something like the attached image, but with white lines and the option to add 'open space' islands.

A search of old Geonet posts led to the following, some which have included code:

parking garage

Parking lot and private street

Project Showcase

In general, you'll probably want to use multiple (nested) splits to divide your lot into rows and then into parking spots. Use case statements to choose whether or not to create open spaces.
