Q1: Is there a way to choose multiple addresses? A1: You could add a second combo widget and set the names again: from scripting import * import org.eclipse.swt as swt import org.eclipse.swt.widgets as widgets import org.eclipse.swt.layout as layout # get a CityEngine instance ce = CE() if __name__ == '__main__':     result = None         display = widgets.Display()         shell = widgets.Shell(display)     shell.pack()     shell.open()         dialog = widgets.Shell(shell, swt.SWT.DIALOG_TRIM | swt.SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL)     dialog.setLayout(layout.RowLayout())     dialog.setText("Address Search")         names = []     OIDs = []     sceneShapes = ce.getObjectsFrom(ce.scene, ce.isShape)     for s in sceneShapes:         name = ce.getAttribute(s, 'name')         if not (name == None) | (name == ""):             names.append(name)             OIDs.append(ce.getOID(s))         searchName = widgets.Combo(dialog, swt.SWT.READ_ONLY)     searchName.setItems(names)        searchName2 = widgets.Combo(dialog, swt.SWT.READ_ONLY)     searchName2.setItems(names)     ok = widgets.Button(dialog, swt.SWT.PUSH)     ok.setText ("OK")     cancel = widgets.Button(dialog, swt.SWT.PUSH);     cancel.setText("Cancel");         class MyListener(widgets.Listener):         def handleEvent(self, event):             global result, result2             if event.widget == ok:                 result = searchName.getSelectionIndex()                 result2 = searchName2.getSelectionIndex()             else:                 result = -1             dialog.close()         listener = MyListener()     ok.addListener(swt.SWT.Selection, listener)     cancel.addListener(swt.SWT.Selection, listener)         dialog.pack()     dialog.open()     while not dialog.isDisposed():         if not display.readAndDispatch():             display.sleep ()     display.dispose()     if result>-1:         print "Selection:", names[result], names[result2]         ce.setSelection(ce.findByOID(OIDs[result]))         if result2>-1:             ce.setSelection([ce.findByOID(OIDs[result]), ce.findByOID(OIDs[result2])])         views = ce.getObjectsFrom(ce.get3DViews())         views[0].frame(ce.selection())‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ for more help on SWT widgets please visit: SWT Widgets  Q2: Is there a way to display the addresses in numerical order? A2: "names" is a list of of strings please refer Python data structure sort list alphabetically - Stack Overflow on how to sort such lists.

Unfortunately not, currently ArcGIS online doesn’t have a way to hide the download button on different item types.

Here is an example of how to write a basic address search with GUI in Python: from scripting import * import org.eclipse.swt as swt import org.eclipse.swt.widgets as widgets import org.eclipse.swt.layout.RowLayout as layout # get a CityEngine instance ce = CE() if __name__ == '__main__': result = None display = widgets.Display() shell = widgets.Shell(display) shell.pack() shell.open() dialog = widgets.Shell(shell, swt.SWT.DIALOG_TRIM | swt.SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL) dialog.setLayout(layout()) dialog.setText("Address Search") names = [] OIDs = [] sceneShapes = ce.getObjectsFrom(ce.scene, ce.isShape) for s in sceneShapes: name = ce.getAttribute(s, 'name') if not (name == None) | (name == ""): names.append(name) OIDs.append(ce.getOID(s)) searchName = widgets.Combo(dialog, swt.SWT.READ_ONLY) searchName.setItems(names) ok = widgets.Button(dialog, swt.SWT.PUSH) ok.setText ("OK") cancel = widgets.Button(dialog, swt.SWT.PUSH); cancel.setText("Cancel"); class MyListener(widgets.Listener): def handleEvent(self, event): global result if event.widget == ok: result = searchName.getSelectionIndex() else: result = -1 dialog.close() listener = MyListener() ok.addListener(swt.SWT.Selection, listener) cancel.addListener(swt.SWT.Selection, listener) dialog.pack() dialog.open() while not dialog.isDisposed(): if not display.readAndDispatch(): display.sleep () display.dispose() if result>-1: print "Selection:", names[result] ce.setSelection(ce.findByOID(OIDs[result])) views = ce.getObjectsFrom(ce.get3DViews()) views[0].frame(ce.selection()) You can add this script as a shortcut to CityEngine ...

Thank you for the questions. For SHP files no boundaries can be defined on import. This option is only available for FileGDBs: Block/Lot Shapes can only be created within a loop in the graph network. If there is an error in the graph network (marked red), it has to be resolved first, before a block is generated. This task can be automated with the Cleanup Graph Networks tool. ... View more

Thank you for the report. Actually it is the other way around - 2016.1 does contain may Bugfixes. CGA Changelog  I'm not quite sure if the issue has been resolved. If not, please try to delete the files in the /project/bin folder. This will recompile the binaries (*.cgb). Can you generate a RPK from your rule? ... View more

Yes, there is an export option to define if Object Metadata is shared. The settings are None Attributes Reports All So in case you only want to share a subset of the attributes, there are 2 options: Prior to export, delete the unwanted attributes with a Python script: deleteAttribute(self, objects, name)     Deletes the named object attribute.          @param objects: The objects to delete the attribute from.     @param name: The attribute name.  [str]          @note: # delete the attribute height from the currently selected objects     ce.deleteAttribute(ce.selection(), 'height')‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Us share "All" as export setting Link the desired object attributes to rule attributes and report them. Then only share "Reports". ... View more

There is no workflow to crate analysis layers like in ArcGIS Pro. Find a geoprocessing tool—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop  As mentioned by Cheryl Lau , in CityEngine you can define shape attributes based on layer attributes / content. Generally layers are used for visualization and as input data for the model generation. ... View more
