CityEngine: Displaying point datasets.

AmberKenyon — Thu, 31 Mar 2016 15:19:10 GMT

Hi Guys,

I'm new with CityEngine and I'm currently trying to alter the display of a point dataset which are representing a number of sensors.

I am unsure of how to alter their height (obviously I don't want to extrude them) and also how to change the size! They are tiny! I've attached a screen shot as an example. I can't find much information on the internet for this...

As you can see, they aren't very well displayed! I have had to highlight one to make it obvious where they are, the rest look like specs.

Below is a screengrab of the attributes:

Any advice would be welcomed!

You could apply a rule to each shape that sets the size of the object/sensor using s(obj_width, obj_height, obj_depth) and then translates it to the appropriate height using t(0, Height_2m, 0).
