Hello @richiedlon  Thank you for your question.  Looking at your screenshots, it seems like you connected the object attribute "Height of the Eave" with your rule attribute "Eave_Ht" via a layer attribute. Have you checked what the values in the Object Attributes section of the Inspector are? Maybe the difference is showing there as well?  Inspector—ArcGIS CityEngine Resources | Documentation ...

Hello @Bee-am  Please excuse the late response. I now figured out what is happening: The current version of the Complete Streets Rule does not support bridge occlusion. The overlap/ occlusion queries can cause a rule to generate slowly. The occlusion check on bridge piers was considered an edge case that is not important enough to justify the performance hit. Therefore it was removed in 2018.  If you want to add it back in, edit Complete_Street.cga and replace the "PierCheck" rule with the formerly used code:   PierCheck --> case (Bridge_Display == "On, Show All Piers"): # Occlusion test is disabled, by "On, Show All piers". PierShow case (Bridge_Display == "On, Flag Occlusions"): case overlaps(inter): # This pier hits another model. print("Occlusion true: Bridge pier overlaps another model!") # Flag the pier in red. This is a debugging mode for the piers. color(1,0,0) PierShow else: # No occlusion so show the pier. print("Occlusion false.") PierShow else: # Use standard occlusion method. case overlaps(inter): # Omit piers due to positive occlusion check. # This means the pier would hit a street or other model. NIL else: # No occlusion so show the pier. PierShow     ... View more

Hello @MCh  thanks for bringing this up. SLPKs have a level of detail LoD structure to dynamically adjust the detail depending on the viewing distance. It indeed looks like the untextured faces (with only vertex color) are not shown. For further analysis, would you be able to share the scene layer you created? ... View more

Hello @mohamadhani  Thank you for your question. Procedural modeling with CityEngine allows you to use premodeled 3D buildings. To find the best fit for any given Parcel geometry, use assetBestSize function—ArcGIS CityEngine Resources | Documentation or one of the related asset utility functions. ... View more

Hello @Farhan  Thanks for your question. Your robot looks like a fun education project. To me, it looks like you are returning a floatArray from the distanceMove(n) function. However, the r operation—ArcGIS CityEngine Resources | Documentation needs a float input.  I suggest, that you adjust your function in a way that you derive the leg angle from the Robot_Move value.  All the best for your project! ...

Hello @ChziLi  Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, there is no way to set the curb radius individually. You need to model the street as a detached turn lane (like the one on the left side of the crossing picture).  ... View more

Hello @MattOlsen  Thanks for your question. Your code above looks good. I assume your OBJ files have "zUp". The CityEngine OBJ-exporter writes "yUp" files. The "assetBestSize" search returns the asset with the best fitting size, from the files specified by searchQuery, according to the specified axisSize string. If the lots are bigger than all assets, it is likely that the biggest asset is returned in all cases. To test this, I suggest creating a shape and assigning your CGA-rule. Then, use the transform tools to adjust the size of the shape to the assets. Eventually, an other OBJ-asset will have the best size.  If you want to randomize the asset insert on the lot, use assetApproxSize function—ArcGIS CityEngine Resources | Documentation   ...

Hello @Krishnendu_MB  Thank you for your question. In ArcGIS Urban, the buildings are stored as Spaces. This Spaces can be procedurally generated based on the zoning regulation, building type, and manual parcel overrides. The CityEngine integration with ArcGIS Urban is limited to making changes to such parcel shapes and their parcel attributes: ArcGIS Urban integration—ArcGIS CityEngine Resources | Documentation Please note that CityEngine does not support importing manually edited spaces, buildings from footprints and custom demolish areas: Develop a parcel—ArcGIS Urban | Documentation ...
