Hi, Ok, so 3d assets and even full projects make it crash. Hmm.. I usually import assets into the assets folder by copy-pasting them from the harddrive (e.g. from the desktop). Can you try deinstalling / reinstalling CE with the standard installer ? M. ps. interested in CityEngine training or services? contact me!

Hi, regarding 3] I meant license of ArcPy/ArcPro. I have seen some docs where you first need to get a license to be able to run some of the tools, but that is intransparent to me for which tools I would need to do that. Can you shed some light on this? Thanks. ... View more

Actually, let me revise this. It seems when I just type import arcpy, it seems to directly find something, which is cool. But. 1] The Python shell in Wing states 2.7.8 But I want to use 3.4, the newest. Also in ArcGIS Pro, I want to use the NEWEST stuff (not the old arcPy for 2.7.x. How can I make sure about this? 2] Are there other things that I should be aware of? 3] Will I have to deal with licensing stuff at any point ? 4] After I have created a script, what's the fastest way to execute that script inside ArcGIS Pro? Can I define running a specific script via a hotkey? Or do I have to call that script by using the Python shell and type it down? Any example would be most welcome! Thanks, everybody! Matt ps. a tutorial video on all this would be great .. ... View more

Hi guys, Thanks for the inputs. I installed Wing Pro to test it. But I'm not sure how to do this: In some cases you may need add to the Python Path in Wing's Project Properties, accessed from the Project menu. --> Which precise file (that contains arcpy code completion stuff) on the harddrive to I point Wing to ? --> Are there other things that I should be aware of? --> Will I have to deal with licensing stuff at any point ? m. ...

Hi, thanks, but: I'm running into exactly this: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20140409195539AAMiqxk --> Pyscripter only works with 32bit versions, but I'd like to use true 64bit. Is there possibly an other IDE you could recommend ? Please let me know.. m. ... View more

Hey Corey, Aligning shapes to a terrain only works based on the shape's vertices (points). Therefore if you need more resolution, you need to subdivide the shape. You do this best by splitting the shape first in CGA into tiles, then convert the model into tiles, then project that shape down onto the terrain for your tree distribution. OK? Cheers!

Ok, makes sense. then I believe it could be a split problem. sometimes, in rare cases it can be that if no follow-up shapes are well-enough defined in the split, the split will fall back to the incoming shape. use the model hierarchy and edit model mode to track down precisely in which part of the code these white polygons are produced. if it is a split, then have a close look on why these polygon duplicates are created. to explain the behavior that I mean: -------------------------------------------------- If you use scatter() with 0 points, no resulting geometry can be placed. But unless you explicitly say .. scatter() ... 0, .. NIL .. CGA will fall back to the shape that comes into the scatter() operation and falls back to that one instead of continuing with a non-valid geometry ( after scattering 0 points). Adding a NIL in a specific location COULD solve this issue. Ok?

Hey .. when exporting the model, which format did you use? did you use the CENTER button to center the georeferenced dataset at the cartesian origin? It could be the 'wobble' effect ..

hi, yes, I referred to creating and editing network datasets and their properties in python. ok, good to see I'm not the only one that would like this. thanks! matt ... View more

Hi Melinda, thanks for the input. okay, then back to the question about the timeframe for this to be implemented. if every other step is possible, that should be too, right ? please let me know. matt ... View more
