Hi, this should work. I'm not sure what the issue is here. 😞 Since I'm on medical leave I don't have time to look into this right now. Can you try and track this down further a bit and try to isolate the issue ? Thanks ! Matt

Glad you got it working ! matt

Hey ! good question. Look at the CGA Reference and read the comp(f) documentation carefully. You'll notice more selectors. What I usually do is comp(f) {bottom : NIL | all : RoofPlane. } If you need a specific orientation, you can play with comp(f) {bottom : NIL | world.south : SouthernRoofPlane | all : RoofPlane. } // DID NOT TEST THIS. otherwise, go via an index attribute to manually choose. attr roofFaceID = 0 comp(f) { bottom : NIL | all = RoofPlanes } // NOTE THE '=' ! This puts all shapes in 1 new shape, instead of n RoofPlanes --> comp(f) {sel ( roofFaceID) : RoofPlaneWithDormer. | all : NoDormers } Ok ? matt

The code s(0,0,0) i() makes sure that the ORIGINAL size of the asset is taken. Since the scope size (0,0,0) is only a point, CGA falls back to the asset dimension when inserting the asset. so you have to edit the 'overheadpylon.obj' asset in a 3d modeling application to give it the correct dimensions. Use e.g. Maya, Max, SketchUp or an other similar app. Ok ? m.

Hi Amir, then it's most possibly those 2 points : 1] make sure the pole size is modeled correctly and in meters 2] make sure the pole assets are modeled near the cartesian origin ( put the pole 'bottom' to 0,0,0 ) ok ? matt

Ok.. Maybe SketchUp lets you script this .. e.g. with Ruby script or so .. matt

Hi, but for the street widths it works ? lemme know.. m.

Hi, in this regard, CGA is still limited. One thing you can do after extruding is : comp(f) {front = FrontShape} // Note the = that puts all selected shapes in 1 resulting shape, not n new shapes. attr ID = 0 FrontShape --> comp(f) {sel (ID): DoorWall. | all : WindowWall. } // sel() casts a string to a selector. But of course, you need to set the ID manually, since CGA cannot evaluate which one is the best for a door. ok ? matt

exactly, use comp(f) matt

Hi, yes, this is possible and has been done e.g. in the Paris Example. usually, you need to create a few functions that create the logic to find the appropriate texture, using fileRandom() or so. check the string operations in the CGA reference. Matt

Sure ! all possible ! 😮

Hi 1] Create the poles as separate asset files ( obj or dae ), add them to the assets folder. 2] Create a rule with the following code 3] Assign the rule to all imported pole position shapes ( originating from attributed point features ) poleFolder = "assets/poletypes/" attr poleType = "" attr poleRotation = 0 @StartRule Pole --> alignScopeToAxes(y) s(0,0,0) i(poleFolder + poleType + ".obj") r(scopeCenter, 0, poleRotation, 0) center(xz) Pole. Let me know if this makes sense .. Matt

Cool, Carl !! m.

Hi ! attribution in dae/kml/kmz is not yet implemented. it's on the wishlist. use the esri formats for this ( preferred GDB ). ok ? m.

‎03-03-2014

Hi Carl, In your case, just export 1 model pre building from SU. Import those files separately. Ok ? If you have georeffed data, use kmls, drag-n-drop them in the CE viewport and you'll get a 'Static Model' per file. just fyi : http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/68876-Importing-obj-dae-from-Sketchup
