Hi Larry, That was once discussed - at least for CityEngine. But this is a very very tricky thing to develop, so it will most probably not come in near future. Your best bet is to write your code accordingly so you know your mesh is printable.

Hello Brian, Yes, this WILL work. Some 3d printer software packages also directly allow obj. Matthias Buehler Head of 3D Technologies twitter: @MattB3D ------------------------------------- Garsdale Design Limited [email protected] www.garsdaledesign.co.uk ... View more

Hi .. I assume somewhere in the process, the file endings are checked for numbers to sort things. Then if there's numbers, they may be adapted. This would be a bug, I assume. But maybe just put and underscore at the end and try again and see if you get new numbers at the very end..

Hey Bruno! Next to the shape name, can you create an object attribute and check if that value 'survives' the way to the WebScene and is visible in the green info dialog?

hey .. use string lists. they're described in CGA docs. check out the CGA file where they are defined in the ce.lib project's rules directory. file called _ce_.cga Note this project can be shown in CE: Navigator > White triangle window > Customize View .. > UNcheck CityEngine 'Hide library' Matt Matthias Buehler Head of 3D Technologies twitter: @MattB3D ----------------------------------- Garsdale Design Limited [email protected] www.garsdaledesign.co.uk ...

Hi Jake, The difference between polar (georeferenced) and cartesian coordinates are basically a huge offset in the XZ plane. CityEngine stores all georeferenced data in cartesian coordinates, with high precision. Usually, going from CityEngine to Unity, it's a one way process and there's no need to go back to CityEngine with data from Unity. So going that way, what you need is to export with the 'center near the origin' button in the export settings. This will calculate the offset so all geometries are nicely placed near the origin. I usually round this value to a precise number I can remember. So importing something back to a georeferenced position is basically moving the thing by negative this offset. I hope that makes sense. Let me know if there's more questions.

The issue if street networks don't join is very simple: The segments must be on the same layer. Merge the layers. Ok? Matthias Buehler Head of 3D Technologies twitter: @MattB3D -------------------------------------- Garsdale Design Limited [email protected] www.garsdaledesign.co.uk ... View more

Hi, Sure this is possible. Just use the street tools and set the street width to a small value and the sidewalks to 0. Then, check out the splits in u and v direction in the CGA reference. Ok?

Hi Lee, For georeferenced data, do not use Collade. Use GDB or KML what can deal with this properly. Ok? Matt Matthias Buehler Head of 3D Technologies twitter: @MattB3D ------------------------------------- Garsdale Design Limited [email protected] www.garsdaledesign.co.uk ... View more

Hey Anna, RPKs are basically zipped rule files including assets. .rpk is actually a 7-zip file, so what you downloaded is a kind of zipped zip file. If you have the .rpk file, you can use it directly in CityEngine and assign it to a shape. If you want to look into the .rpk file, you can extract the contents as from a standard zip file. But it may be the case that the CGA code in text is not available in the rpk. It can be that only the CGB file is in there, which is a binary file that you can't open and look at. Please let me know if there's more questions. Matt ... View more

Hi, CityEngine can not directly do these things, only parts of the problem. But in combination with LumenRT, you can create interactive scenes with moving cars. See more details here: LumenRT 2015 | E-On Software Let me know if you need more pointers.
