CityEngine 2021.1crash - Omniverse Connector

[LayiTaylor1]

The CityEngine 2021.1crashes when the Omniverse Connector 0.9.3 (Beta) export function is used. The connect dialog is set to all the defaults. Has anyone experienced this problem.

Hi,

sorry about your troubles. This could be  a known bug in the current beta: Please make sure that on the Nucleus server the destination path "/Users/CityEngine" actually exists (might need manual creation).

Note, this has already been fixed in the soon to be released version 1.0 of the connector.

Thanks for the update. The Nucleus server destination path is specified correctly. Is there a timeline for the new connector (1.0)?

The crash can also happen with the current beta if the permissions on the server folder are too narrow. The 1.0 release will be robust against insufficient folder permissions on nucleus.

I'm literally right now building a pre-release and will test it in collaboration with Nvidia in the next few days. I expect to be released within the next two weeks or so.

Best,
Simon
