hi, I'd add an attr : @Range("streets", "markers") attr exportWhat = "streets" then on each of the leaf shapes which actually create geometry, NIL them accorsing to that new attr. e.g. if you only want to export the streets, NIL the markers. if you have that setup, export TWICE. once for the street geo, once for the markers. m. ...

hi .. the rules of the LA metro example are actually really easy. nothing fancy. * all the landmarks you see are placed in the scene just as 'static models', so no code used for those. * the streets are just colored shapes. * the stations are inserted cylinder objects, so using just s() and () on GIS data (attributed point features) that's basically it .. the only tricky thing is to actually clean up the imported models. stuff on the google warehouse is usually not perfectly cleanly modeled, plus the handling of the transparencies are sometimes tricky since there's no real convention on if 1 or 0 is fully transparent. check also here : http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/72958-Bringing-Models-from-SketchUp-into-CityEngine-Recommendations cheers ! matt ...

Hi Phil, I did not try the tutorial myself yet, but from what I know they use a specific naming convention of the layers. Try renaming all layers involved exactly as in the tutorial. let me know how it goes. matt ... View more

Whats the code for the color Gray? hi .. grey is when you have the same color values for r,g,b. some extremes of grey would be black or white. ( wow, people will quote me on this in 100 years ! 🙂 ) e.g. color(0.2,0.2,0.2) or in hex : color("#222222") hex colors work like this (per channel): 00 is darkest, then it goes up to 99, then comes AA up to FF, which is white. ok ? matt ...
