Hi, I think the issue is that NumFlrComm is wrong / constant. You need at some point to compare this value with 'split.index' and 'split.total' Check the docs on those .. ok ? matt ps. you're copying all the reporting code many times. I'd rewrite the code in just 1 rule that also works on all LODs at the same time. Try to find a code structure that NEVER repeats code. Ok ? ... View more

Hi, Is it a laptop ? I'm not sure if something has changed in this regard, but sometimes if it's a laptop, the 2nd graphics card may interfere. Possibly you did set the deactivation setting for the 2nd card once before for CE2012 ? Let me know .. m. ... View more

Hi, What's the longest data diameter in meters ? ... View more

Hi ! This should be almost seamless. Though we strongly recommend to create a new workspace. So .. Start CE 2013 in the new workspace, copy all projects from old to new workspace, import them into new Workspace, open scene. Let me know how it goes .. matt ... View more

Hi ! Btw. please update to 3.0 ! http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=38fede3935a440e49cf316dcae6aae47 matt ... View more

Hi, to export to Blender, you MUST center the model ( use the model offset button in the obj exporter ). I'm not sure why Blender does not import the textures. So please check if the mtl files are correctly created together with the obj files. let me know .. matt ps. use CityEngine's Navigator Preview to check if the obj files are valid after export ! ( refresh the export directory to see the files after export ) ... View more

Hi ! CityEngine does not support LIDAR data or pointcloud data in general. What CE does when it gets point features, it converts them to little shapes, ready for use in CGA. What you then can do is write a small CGA rule that e.g. inserts little cubes or spheres at these places and colorizes them. But the polycount will exlode with many points, so that's a no-go, especially for WebScenes. matt ... View more

Hi, Note: In general, this process can not be done 'all automatted', neither in CityEngine nor in any other application. Reason for this is that it depends heavily on the model itself and on the polygon-connectivity. Example: Of you have a cube, where each side has been moved 'out' a bit, so all the faces are disconnected: How is the computer to know what's inside and what's outside if it's just 6 separate polygons ? 🙂 That makes the task very difficult. matt ...

Hi, No, that is not possible and was never implemented. There's only one thing you can do : Restrict the areas that actually get exported. Ok ? matt ... View more

Hi, Creating dynamic street shapes in CityEngine is only possible with the 'Dynamic City Layouts' - the tools that CityEngine provides. These tools are not as precise as engineering tools such as Civil3d, but are magnitudes faster to work with, of course with some lacking precision, especially in texturing. In CityEngine 2013, we've done a lot of work in this regard, but still, approximating real world streets is almost impossible. CityEngine is becoming rather a quick-to-use design tool rather than an engineering tool. Though of course, we'll continue improving the street tools !! ==> Means the 'automatization' can not be deactivated. ok ? matt ... View more

Hi ! Are you already using 3.0 ? http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=38fede3935a440e49cf316dcae6aae47 Let me know .. matt ... View more

Hi Kareen, Well, we tested the exports a lot, but there may have been some rare cases that slipped. 😞 No software's perfect.. 🙂 But I always need very precise details to be able to help. As written in the post above, if there's a 'hint of a bug', I need to be able to reproduce it on my machine here. So please track the issue down very precisely, otherwise it's hard for me to help ..

Are you working with georeferenced data ? Can you try just a simple cube first, before exporting complex data ? Does it work then ? Let me know.. m. ... View more
