an other advantage of creating single fence pieces is that you can adapt to slopes.. I made a quick example .. not perfect, but it shows a few things. [ATTACH=CONFIG]11128[/ATTACH] fence assets & CGA code, see attached zip ... View more

hi ! first question : are you sure you want to use this fence asset and not just it's 3 main components (post, bar, fenceboard) ? I guess tiling this object produces strange scaling. lemme know. :cool: matt ... View more

ha! well spotted. 100 points to Portugal ! 😉 @Merit() is no more. it's supposed to be @Order() when I reworked the Medieval Town those Annotation names were still in beta and got eventually renamed. @Order obviously moves the attrs up and down in the list. cheers ! matt ... View more

hi ! I created the whole Medieval Town Example, thus I know it pretty well.. 😉 Creating Interiors in the CityEngine is still quite tricky, so I left this alone in this Example. Main reason that this is tricky since there's some specific interior-oriented CGA operations missing. If you have more questions, lemme know. 🙂 ... View more

hi ! The Paris scene is not 'geolocated' and thus has no Scene Coordinate System set. This is usually done when importing something geolocated. The default case in with the KML exporter is that there's a SCS set, thus in your case it asks specifically. The terrain exporter does not ask about a SCS, but if it's set it will use it. [We may adapt this behavior in future.] What I'd recommend is that you set the SCS in the scene, then test the exporter again, but note that the position is not set correctly, thus the models will not show up in 'actual France'. 🙂 Does that make sense ? ...

hi ! it is possible to create tunnel geometries and such with the CityEngine. though it all depends on the data which you have at hand. there may still be things which you can not do yet, but since the CityEngine is still a very young product, we're always interested in what users actually want to achieve. let me know ! ...

hi ! the internal UNIT is meters and by default, the CityEngine uses no 'Scene Coordinate System', thus works in a cartesian coordinate system (xyz). If you choose a 'SCS' for your scene, things should line up. what is it precise which you are after ? let me know ! ... View more

hi ! can you do a general search on C: and try to locate an error loc named "hs_err" ? if one was created, it is named somewhat like this. additionally, you could try to delete the folder called ".CityEngine". this is a hidden folder located in your user account. can you try this ? please let me know. ...

hi ! I am not sure .. is this a question related to the CityEngine software ? please let me know .. ... View more

hi Michael, can you post also the system specs like OS, amount of RAM, graphics card model ? first thing I'd try is update the graphics driver. let me know .. kind greetings ! ... View more

hi Rafael, it is not (yet) possible to link stuff dynamically, like e.g. from services or online maps. please have a look here, under gallery : http://resources.arcgis.com/content/cityengine/about I hope this helps you further ! ... View more

hi ! great to hear you're up and running with the TRIAL ! make sure you see all the GIS related help resources here : http://resources.arcgis.com/content/cityengine/about check the gallery section ! cheers ! ... View more

hi ! I can reproduce it too. I have forwarded it to the devs, ok ? I'll let you know what this is about precisely. I have the feeling, but only they know for sure .. 😉 chocolate cheers ! ... View more

hi Magnus .. ah, I know what you want, basically moving components like vertices or edges. sadly, this is not (yet) possible. in CGA, you can either split or move, but there's currently no way to 'select' a part of the shape and transform it. ( I have wished for such a feature before too. ) what we can do right now is : put it to the ideas ! https://c.na1.visual.force.com/apex/ideaList?c=09a300000004xET&category=Esri+CityEngine ...

what I'd try is if it's possible to export your data either as shape file (.shp) or openstreetmap (.osm). you'll have to make sure that the width information is stored as actual attributes of the line segments. how you do this specifically in AutoCAD, sadly I don't know .. maybe someone else knows this ? otherwise, what you could try is exporting as dxf, 1 file for each street width. after you have imported them into the workspace and then imported into the scene, you'll have n layers. there, you can set the street widths for all elements in the layers. once this is done, merge all layers into 1 layer and run the clean graph too to merge the graphs. with graphs on different layers, blocks will not be created. let me know if this helps. ...
