It's the only reason we do not use CE in my company. Unfortunately, we had to write Python and Max scripts to export from ArcGIS to 3dsmax. I tested each CE release from 2008 version but every time this problem remains unsolved.

Hi,


in CE 2013, this should work.

Ana, can you post a shape file or GDB with that specific footprint ?

Let me know ..

I am experiencing the same problem.

Usually i import DXF files and closed polylines are converted to CE shapes. What usualy happens with the holes is that CE reads it as a second shape. What kind of objects should i export from AutoCAD to preserve the holes?

In VecrorWorks, the same thing hapens both when exporting to DXF or to ShapeFiles, the object with a hole is being impoted as two seperate shapes.

Any ideas?

Until CE2012, CityEngine could not interpret holes, thus it created a second shape, with inverted normals.

In 2013, it is supported for shapeFiles and GDB. I'm not sure if it's also working with dxf files.

Alex, can you provide a dxf file with a polygon with a hole ?
