Aligning Problem

BurakAydin1 — Tue, 14 May 2019 15:00:26 GMT

Hello there,

I have a problem. As soon as I click "Align shapes to Terrain", my shapefile rectifies and falls down the edge.

In the first picture(Border_Issue1) you can see that all shapefiles have the right size, in the second picture(Border_Issue) you can see the mentioned problem.

Does anyone have the same problem and can help me? Thomas Fuchs‌ Chris Wilkins‌ Elliot Hartley‌ David Wasserman‌ Geoff Taylor‌ L R‌ Cheryl Lau‌ Matthias Buehler‌ Michelle Mathias‌

Thanks in advance

Hi Burak,

Try one of the Translate options. Project will cause the effect you see if any of a shape's vertices extend past the edge of the terrain.

Hi Chris,

thank you for your quick answer. However, the problem persists.

In the beginning everything worked fine, see the picture below(it's my backup-file). But after I created a .3ws file for the Cityengine Web Viewer, the problem occurs strangely.

Hello Burak Aydin

Can you pleas provide a screenshot of the CityEngine Web Viewer scene?

Is it really the shape files that are wrong?

Or does the terrain itself look strange?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Thomas,

in the appendix you can find the screenshots. You can see the Cityengine scene and the terrain (DGM1&2) as a whole and close up.

I don't know if it can be because of the terrain. The strange thing is that everything worked fine in the beginning, but now this aligning problem arises when i want to add new shapefiles.

Hi there,

I found my mistake. The shapefiles were polygons and after I converted them into multipatches everything works fine again.

I don't know if this is the general solution now, but in my case it works fine.

Thanks for your replies and help
