ah .. that may make sense .. ok .. thx ! ... View more

just a quick question .. do you see a button here on GeoNet that sets a post as 'answer' ? I don't see that button here .. ?

Hi .. 'bottom' is always interpreted relative to the scope orientation. since that may change quite a lot, you can't generally say you want all bottom faces to be gone. e.g. the underside of balconies.. by conding CGA, you encode the semantics of a building, thus you define which polygons should be created and which not, in every case. but to answer your question: defining this globally is not possible other than using a specific rule that 'assumes' a specific scope orientation (or enforces it) to delete some faces.

hi .. try using the comp.index (check docs) Ok ? matt Matthias Buehler Head of 3D Technologies twitter: @MattB3D -------------------------------- Garsdale Design Limited [email protected] www.garsdaledesign.co.uk ... View more

did you try the 'border' and 'inside' selectors ? Matthias Buehler Head of 3D Technologies twitter: @MattB3D -------------------------------- Garsdale Design Limited [email protected] www.garsdaledesign.co.uk ... View more

Hey ! It's easiest that you do the following: (I didn't test this code, may contain errors.) of course, add the attributes .. Footprint -->     extrude(world.y, buildingHeight)     split(y) {~floorHeight: FloorVolume}* FloorVolume -->     case split.index == split.total -1:         # top base floor         FloorVolume.         # copy the shape now ..         comp(f){top: # scopezUp !             alignScopeToAxes(y) # rotate scope yUp             i(upperFootprint) # note that assets needs to be modeled yUp.             Continue.             }     else:         # other base floors. note you can also do a '== 0' test to get the ground floor !         FloorVolume.

Hi .. no, there's no other syntax in CGA to do this. sorry. I wished for this also a loooong time. e.g. attr number = 1 Shape -->     eval("Rule" + str(number)) Rule1 -->     Continue.

This is the only way of getting 'back' to the first rule: rule1.cga: ------------ import rule2: "rule2.cga" Shape -->     rule2.DoExtrude rule2.Mass -->     color(1,0,0) rule2.cga: ------------ DoExtrude -->     extrude(10)     Mass // notice this is an UNUSED RULE with a yellow warning ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- this should result in a red extruded shape. ok ?

great help here, Chris ! Matt Matthias Buehler Head of 3D Technologies twitter: @MattB3D ------------------------------ Garsdale Design Limited [email protected] www.garsdaledesign.co.uk ... View more

Hi, maybe the colors you see are those of the 'unknown texture' texture file that is assigned if a texture is not found. check: - are all textures in the same folder as the obj file and the mtl file - the files are in typical formats ( e.g. tif, jpg, png, ..) let me know..

Ha, good catch .. Matthias Buehler Head of 3D Technologies twitter: @MattB3D ------------------------------- Garsdale Design Limited [email protected] www.garsdaledesign.co.uk ... View more

yeah, rename them accordingly and create some logic with the CGA string functions. e.g. choose a random texture, get the base name, then create a logic that maps the chosen texture name to a random bump map.. should not be too hard.. m.

Hi! iOS8 now supports WebGL, and on Android you've had WebGL support for longer.. So it should work. Did not try this myself in a long time though .. Just play with it. Have fun!

ah, Retina, ok. I'll make sure the devs see this. good you have a workaround for now. cheers ! Matthias Buehler Head of 3D Technologies twitter: @MattB3D ---------------------------------- Garsdale Design Limited [email protected] www.garsdaledesign.co.uk ... View more
