Ah nice.. so there's no specific steps in ArcPy, all standard Python stuff, right? ... View more

sounds good, I may actually also need to add some attrs in the workflow. Thanks!! ... View more

hi .. basically yes. this was just a quick test method .. I will probably adapt it again. in your experience, writing n lines individually to an FC compared to sending a list full and write once .. is there a big performance difference? ... View more

Hi .. thanks, this did help. I came up with this method that works now: def write_one_line_feature(linePointList, fc, spatialRef):   pnt1 = arcpy.Point(linePointList[0][0], linePointList[0][1], linePointList[0][2])   pnt2 = arcpy.Point(linePointList[1][0], linePointList[1][1], linePointList[1][2])   line = arcpy.Polyline(arcpy.Array([pnt1, pnt2]), spatialRef, True, False)    arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(line, fc) [[ I'm not perfectly sure what it was, but I think I made 2 errors: 1] I think the FC I created was polygon, not polyline 2] in arcpy.Polyline(), I did not define the spatial reference either or .. not sure. ]] huge thanks, also to Xander Bakker​ ...

ps. this is how I create the target polygon FC first: arcpy.CreateFeatureclass_management(ws, 'diag', 'POLYGON', has_z = 'ENABLED', spatial_reference = spatialRef) I noticed the spatial reference sometimes gets created correctly, sometimes not. pretty erratic though. ... View more

Hi, please make sure you re-watch the same video on arcgis.com. they have the highres videos. just google for the same title. can you post a screenshot of what you see in your scene? I'm sure it's just a object type visibility thing. let me know. Matt ... View more

I did not have that issue .. of course .. haha .. you have to make sure that the rubble 'knows' how far to fall down. basically, use a generic attribute with scope.elevation at the very beginning of the shape. this saves the 'soil' height the building stands on. then, translate each piece by it's own scope.elevation minus the building's floor height. make sense?

Hey, shapeL, O, U expect a yUp scope. after a comp(f), you always have a zUp scope. use alignScopeToGeometry(yUp, 0) or similar. ok? Matt ... View more

Hi, try using touches with 3d geometries, so extrude the polygons you're working with. once you have done the test and gotten the result, go back to the original face with comp(f) Cheers, Matt ... View more

Hi, Did you have a look at the official tutorial 9? CityEngine Tutorials - Tutorial 9: Advanced shape grammar This will give you a good intro in how to tackle your specific building.. Good luck!
