shape to model

AlexanderBraun — Tue, 23 Aug 2016 11:21:52 GMT

I work with CityEngine for the first time and have no idea how to program. The tutorials weren't very helpful for me. I have a 3D Model of an archaeological site and want to use an Intervisibility analisys inside for the statues. I managed to import it as a shape but I fail to get a Model out of the 3dimensional shape and panalize it or defining viewpoints to import in ArcScene for the intervisiblity study.

Can anyone tell me what to do?

CityEngine integrates well with other Esri software such as ArcScene, especially through the Esri GDB format. You could export your geometry as a gdb and then import it into ArcScene to do your analysis.

Thank you for the reply. My problem however ist that first I have to "panalize" the model to do the study as shown in this video: Home | Esri Video in order to make the analysis and the rulefile can not be applicated on the shape I get but I need apparently a model.
