In CityEngine the type of an object attribute’s value does not have to be the same across multiple shapes, but this is a requirement for Esri’s FileGDB format. If such a type mismatch is present in your scene, the export to FileGDB will fail with the following message:

The batch export completed but at least one error occurred. See export logfile for detailed error information.

In this blog post you will first learn about the underlying issue and then about two solutions to solve it.
