Hi, ah, I see. so you'd like to get a rectangular footprint, but oriented to the 'back' of the lot instead of the front, the so-called 'first edge'. my first idea would be to align the scope to the 'back' edge, as follows : attr Building_Height = 9 attr Front_Yard_Depth = 10 attr Rear_Yard_Depth = 10 attr Side_Yard_Depth = 5 attr Roof_Angle = 20 attr Roof_Overhang = 1 attr Floors = (Building_Height/6) attr Rotation = 0 func = rint(geometry.nEdges / 2 ) @StartRule Lot --> alignScopeToGeometry(yUp, 0, func) setback(Front_Yard_Depth ) { street.front: NIL | remainder: setback(Rear_Yard_Depth ) { street.back: NIL | remainder: setback(Side_Yard_Depth ) { street.side: NIL | remainder: MakeRectangle } } } MakeRectangle --> innerRect Done. Of course, this will not always work, but it may give you an idea. [ATTACH=CONFIG]28228[/ATTACH]

Ah. that's currently not directly queryable with a function. I recommend : comp(e) { all : report("edgeLength", scope.sx) NIL } ok ? m.

Hi ! sharing knowledge - that's what this forum is about ! 😮 can you post a few reference images of what you need precisely ? cheers ! m.

Hi, Well, your code looks valid, but there's nothing I see that would be specific about bad orientation. Let's do it like this : You create about 5 Lot scenario sketches, with how the footprint shall be placed on that lot ( and which form it needs ), plus a few annotations on what you want to orient on. Plus, on which Lot sides any streets are. Then I can give you better inputs. Sounds ok ? m.

Hi, As a first thing, I'd recommend you watch the tutorial videos 1-6 here : http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/64843-CityEngine-Collection-RESOURCES-FAQ-HELP This will show you the initial concepts of CGA. Ok ? m.

Gary, There is no way I can help you if you do not post any screenshots or any sort of precise step by step description where you get these values from. If CityEngine starts and you can work with it, there's not a lot else I can do. Btw. esri also offers Trial extensions.

Hi, glad you found a solution ! was esri support involved ? do they know about the solution ? lemme know.

‎10-08-2013

Hi Gary. Can you post screenshots where you find that changing info ? Can you post screenshots of all errors you hit when you install CityEngine ? I need the precise info you see on your screen. lemme know.

Hi, Of course, some browsers suck .. 😉 [or have limitations. I meant what you can see in CE, you can export to .3ws. If the browser can display it is a different topic.] If you track this down, is it sure the satellite pic crashes the driver ? - try exporting the WebScene without that map, does it work then ? - try exporting only the element with that image (terrain I guess), does it work then ? - if you downscale the image in the WebScene exporter ( 2nd exporter dialog: texture quality settings ), does it work then ? - could it be the browser crashes because of the number of polygons of the terrain and not that image ? - what browser are you using ? - did you update to the newest WebScene 2.3.1. ? [http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=38fede3935a440e49cf316dcae6aae47] lemme know .. matt

Sure, here's the screenshot. It says basically that it can not load the .3ws. ( sorry, it's in german ). Even one of our 3ws developers could not open the file .. hmm. Can you PM me your mail address, then we can track this down. Ok ? m.

Hi, In CGA, you can use geometry.area() to find a shape's area. Check the docs on how to precisely use it. If you report the area and select all shapes, the Reports tab in the Inspector will show the sum of all areas. But since CGA operates only on single shapes, CGA has no way to 'collect' reported data of it's neighbor shapes in the same Block. Python scripting may give you a few workflow options though. Ok ? matt

‎10-07-2013

hi ! yes, let me know. Thanks for checking again, much appreciated. good luck ! 😮

Ciao Domenico, [ come stai ? 🙂 ] Seems a cool thing ! Though I can never open the WebScene due to an error. If we all update to http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=38fede3935a440e49cf316dcae6aae47, we may be able to track the issue down better. Let me know.

‎10-04-2013

Hi, 2 questions .. 1] if this error appears, CE will never start, right ? it only quits ? 2] (sorry to persist, but) can you please check with your IT people if the 2nd graphics card is 100% sure not active ? Let me know. matt

Hi, No, that is ok like this. layer in this context means 'MAP layer', not layer in the sense of a layer of imported data. If you go to Layer > New map layer .. , that's the layer types you can usually connect to ( mapping layer, terrain layer, function layer) But you can also take a second layer with e.g. parcel shapes on it and 'sample' ('map') the object attributes of those shapes. The option though only appears if something connectable is available. There's some complex heuristics going on that try to figure those possible connections out. Ok ?
