CGA rules for underground facilities

[awei]

I'm writing CGA rules for manholes and pipe lines which connect manholes together. Does anyone have examples of these kind of CGA rule files I can refer to?

Thank you!

Hi Dan,

Then am I able to export the 3D models from ArcMap to CE?

Yes, the buffered line features will be in multipatch format in your geodatabase. Then you can use File > Import > File GDB Import, and navigate to your new features from there in CE.

Thanks! That worked excellently. Also can you texture those pipes?

[DanielHedges]

Absolutely. I'll pass it back to Chris Wilkins​, who has put together some simple CGA to texture multipatches. Yo Chris!

a wei,

Here is the rule Dan mentions (attached). You might need to experiment with the @InMesh annotation on the start rule if using this in ArcGIS Pro.

Also, you'll need to point the image texture to your particular image.

Update to this post.... I found a couple errors in the rules, which when encountered made things look really bad.

Here's a fixed version of the Manhole (attached).
