Theoretically Backporting Palladio 2.0 to Houdini 18.0 is possible but not quick, you would need to re-introduce support for 18.0 in the CMake and Conan files. There might also be a few small HDK API changes. Maybe the problems you had with 1.7 have been fixed in Palladio 1.9? Please note, Palladio 1.9 only understands RPK from CityEngine 2020.1 and older.

Hi, unfortunately, the last release which officially supported Houdini 18.0 was Palladio 1.9 What kind of error do you get? Best, Simon

I'm glad you found a workaround. While there could be a bug in our multi-monitor handling I would be curious to see if applying "-Dglsinglebuffer" or disabling the NahimicService fixes the problem altogether? Best, Simon

‎08-16-2023

The first thing I noticed is this message: "The Service NahimicService was detected on your system. Resizing CityEngine windows can lead to crashes when this service is active. Please deactivate the service or if that is impossible add the following line to the CityEngine.ini in your CityEngine installation: '-Dglsinglebuffer'. This activates single buffering and can lead to degraded rendering performance." Please try to disable the NahimicService - or if you need it, edit the CityEngine.ini file (in the CityEngine installation directory) and add a line with "-Dglsinglebuffer" (without the quotes). Best, Simon

From your original post I understand that you can start CityEngine and you see the welcome screen. If this is correct, then you can go to Window -> Log menu item and see if there are any warnings/error entries. Entries separated with a dashed line mark restarts of CityEngine. The first button allows you to export the log, please attach it here. Best, Simon

Hi Carl, I see you have fairly modern GPU hardware. While CityEngine should also run on the integrated UHD graphics, let's try to force it to the Nvidia GPU. Here's one guideline how to do this: https://youtu.be/YCqW_5HI_v4 Best, Simon

Hi Matt, thanks for these great suggestions (e.g. running the built-in subdivisions on imported geo). We've added them to our backlog! Best, Simon

Ok, best ask the support via myesri, they know best how to resolve this problem.

For these kind of licensing issues please contact the Esri support of the distributor where you purchased your license (or got the trial from). Best, Simon

Do you have other CityEngine versions installed which start correctly? The screenshot looks like it fails while open the 3d viewport - what GPU do you have? Best, Simon

Hi Mateo, we removed support for explicitly setting the start rule in PyPRT 1.1 (2020), there were some problematic edge-cases (styles) and we aimed for simplicity. How about introducing a "dispatcher" start rule which calls the desired rule based on an (enum) attribute? If you do not want to modify your existing "model" rule you could put the dispatcher into a separate rule file and use import. Best, Simon

No, unfortunately CityEngine does not read polygon features from KMZ/KML at this time, as documented in the help: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/cityengine/latest/help/help-import-kmz-kml.htm We only read read 3d models as described here: https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/models I recommend to convert the KMZ to a FileGDB in ArcGIS Pro and then import this one into CityEngine. Best, Simon

Hi again, the placemarks in your sample file are unfortunately not supported (polygons etc) by CityEngine. CityEngine only reads placemarks which reference Collada assets at this time. Maybe you can convert the KMZ to a FileGDB in Pro and import this one in CityEngine? Best, Simon

‎07-25-2023

Thanks, we'll take a look!

‎07-25-2023

Hi, if possible, could you share one sample file with us so we can debug it? We will treat the data confidentially of course. Best, Simon
