Open Street Map opens with Get Map Data, but the OK button is greyed out. I am logged in -

Please advise.

Did you search for a place and drag a rectangle around the area you want to download? The OK button is grayed out until an area is selected.

Which version of CityEngine are you using?

Could you please provide a screen shot and step by step instructions on how you got to the screen shot so that we can try to reproduce it? Did you start with a new scene? Please also include the version of CityEngine that you are using.

I was able to get it resolved, I had pre-defined the coordinate system of my project, as a result the import of the data did not work.

I got the same problem yesterday.

My project was using a Local Coordinate System (UTM Portugal).

Solution: Create a new projec without Coordinate System or use Geographic Coordinate Systems and the button will work again.

I had the same problem in CityEngine 2016.1. Creating a new City Engine project and *not* defining the projection finally allowed me to import data from OSM.

You should be able to use Get Map Data with existing scenes that already have a coordinate system set. The data downloaded will be converted to the coordinate system of the existing scene.

There is a limit on the extent of the downloadable data though. The data you want to download needs to be within a radius (maybe approximately 500km?... just guessing on the exact number) of the content in the existing scene. In 2017.0 and I think in 2016.1, there is an error message at the top if you try to select a region that is outside the downloadable extent, and the OK button is grayed out, but I don't think 2016.0 displays this message: "Selected region is out of bounds of current coordinate system. Open an empty scene or a scene with a fitting coordinate system."

Of course, you can start with a new scene, and then Get Map Data will download data into the scene and set the coordinate system to UTM.

morrisonb, geoinformacao, achipman_crec If you could tell me exactly what coordinate system you are using, where your existing data is in that coordinate system (camera icon in top right corner of viewport -> Information Display -> look at coordinates), and the location of the data you want to download in Get Map Data, then I can try to reproduce the problem, and maybe there is a bug. Or, if you are able to post a scene and let me know the extent of your desired data download, that would also help.

Thank you, geoinformacao, for your information. It looks like this is a bug, so thanks for helping us find it.

Having this issue now. ALso not defining it but it sets it to a default set. Did you end up setting it to Preferences>secene>Scene coordinate system>choose>No Projection > Raw data in feet/meters ?

I am having the same issue. Using 2019.1 version. Online connection ok. Get map data feature is not working regardless of whether the scene has a coordinate system assigned. getmapdatafeaturenotworking
