many thanks for your help with this.
I've had a go with this but cannot get it to do exactly what i'm after.... see below elaborated....
We draw our zoning areas in Autocad Map 3D, and can save out a shp file, either polygon or line ( I haven’t managed to suss out which is best) and we would like cityengine to grow streets inside these areas and populate the areas with relevant buildings.
The task….
- grow streets in each area (including a street around the shape boundary)
streets should be grown in either residential (closer roads and smaller parcels) or commercial style (larger road grid and larger parcels) The shp file input has a field to define whether the area is for residential or commercial.
- generate buildings for each area (residential or commercial) based on the SHP file field.
I've looked through the tutorials and it explains a similar process using images however i need to use vector data and limit the roads to these areas...
do you have any ideas on how to take this forward? maybe some Python scripting required?
thanks
Neil
