There is no direct way to import OSM point features. But you can convert the OSM tree layer to SHP and import the points to CityEngine. OSM to SHP Converter Online - MyGeodata Cloud  ... View more

Thank you for reporting this issue. The CE team will look into it. As a workaround please use this Python script to mirror the imported shape coordinates: from scripting import * # get a CityEngine instance ce = CE() # axisIndex: [0,1,2] = [x,y,z] def mirrorShape(shapes,axisIndex):     for i in xrange(0,len(shapes)):         vertices = ce.getVertices(shapes[i])         for j in xrange(axisIndex,len(vertices),3):             vertices[j] *= -1         ce.setVertices(shapes[i], vertices)                 if (i%100==0) | (i==len(shapes)-1):             status = r"progress %3.1f%%" % ((i+1) * 100. / len(shapes))             print(status) if __name__ == '__main__':     shapes = ce.getObjectsFrom(ce.selection(),ce.isShape)     mirrorShape(shapes,0)     pass‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

Yes. There is a cleanup graph command in Python: Python Scripting Command Reference: CE.cleanupGraph - CleanupGraphSettings          @example:         # Settings class used to control parameters for cleanupGraph operation         cleanupSettings = CleanupGraphSettings()         cleanupSettings.setIntersectSegments(True)         cleanupSettings.setMergeNodes(True)         cleanupSettings.setMergingDist(10)         cleanupSettings.setSnapNodesToSegments(True)         cleanupSettings.setSnappingDist(10)         cleanupSettings.setResolveConflictShapes(True)         graphlayer = ce.getObjectsFrom(ce.scene, ce.isGraphLayer)         ce.cleanupGraph(graphlayer, cleanupSettings)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ It works the same way as in the GUI. ...

You are right  in the CGA Language there are Shape Attributes. These Shape Attributes are properties of current shape the rule is applied on. The are completely unrelated to the CGA Attributes attr id = expression‍ that can be connected to Object Attributes, Shape Parameters and Layer Attributes (see above) ... View more

There are Object Attributes and Shape Parameters, there are no Shape Attributes. Shape parameters define the dynamic shape generated by CityEngine. Please read the CE help on Creation of Shapes from Graph Networks . Also Note: Shape Parameters can also be connected to Object Attributes. ... View more

Thank you for your question. Objects is generic term that comprises (Shapes, Models, Graphs, Terrains, Viewsheds ...) Some of these Objects like Shapes or Graphs can have Object Attributes. I hope this clarifies the semantic. ... View more

No apparently not. I'd like to analyze your scene and cga rules. I've sent you a private message. ... View more

Hello Chistoph In your code you used "color" as a rule name. Additionally it is also a CGA operation http://desktopdev.arcgis.com/en/cityengine/latest/cga/cga-color.htm I advise you to rename the rule to "setColor" and do not hand over the attribute "Nutzungsart". This should do the trick: version "2018.1" // Attributes attr VPKOTE = 0 attr Radius = 0 attr Form = ("Pipe") attr Nutzungsart = 0 // Functions red = "#ffaaaa" green = "#00ae00" blue = "#aaaaff" turquoise = "#ooebeb" white = "#ffffff" yellow = "#ffff73" grey = "#9c9c9c" // Start ! @StartRule LOT --> extrude(world.y, VPKOTE) extrude(Radius) setColor setColor --> case Nutzungsart == 1 : color(red) case Nutzungsart == 2 : color(green) else : color (yellow) PipeAsset = case Form == "Pipe" :      "assets/pipe.obj" else: "assets/pipe.obj"‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ mfG Thomas F ...

Hi Carla and Abele, can you please confirm, this happens with CityEngine 2018.0? It includes a bugfix, that deals with a crash that matches your description. Thank you Thomas F ... View more

Hello Haval Thank you for your question. The problem is, that in the imported shape has inverted face normals. In the WebScene the backfaces are culled. To fix this problem, select the shapes and run the "Menu > Shapes > Cleanup Shapes..." tool with the setting "Conform Normals" enabled. If there are still some faces in the wrong direction, select them and do "Menu > Shapes > Reverse Normals" ... View more
