Hi Marie, The current recommendation is to export and publish SLPKs (Scene Layer Packages) to ArcGIS Online (or Portal) and then view them in ArcGIS Scene Viewer. These formats are fundamentally different and you would need to re-export your CityEngine scene. AFAIK, there is currently no Scene Viewer based app with the same functionality. Our apologies. In version up to 2022.1 you can use the "offline" viewer for this. The below command will open a browser window using a locally served copy of the 3ws viewer:   Best, Simon ... View more

Hi, welcome to the world of procedural modeling with CGA. 🙂 There is unfortunately no undo functionality for Python scripts. If you are unsure about the correctness of a script, it is best practice to save a copy of the scene file (cej) before running the script. Or run the script on a copy of the scene (copying could even be part of the script itself). Best, Simon ... View more

Regarding performance, I did some initial tests (25 buildings with ~20mio polygons): Palladio 1.7 in Houdini 18.0: 6.1s Palladio 2.0 in Houdini 19.5: 5.8s So we cannot yet see worse perf in Palladio 2.0.   Would you mind sharing some of your scene parameters, for example: How many initial shapes do you have? How complex are your rules, e.g. how many attributes do you have? Do you use inter-occlusion (between models)? How many assets do the rules insert? How many textures do you use? Ideally, if you could share an example scene where you see the perf difference would be best! Thanks & best, Simon ... View more

I'm not completely sure I understand your requirements for the location of the RPK file. Here is what I meant by using $HIP: 1. Create project with rpk subdir 2. Copy your RPKs into it: 3. Assuming you store your hip files in the project root, you can then reference the RPKs with the $HIP variable: I hope this helps! ... View more
