The current behavior of not exporting default CGA attribute values is expected. In general, the concept of "default" value is not so clear, as you can see in below example where attr b = a + 5, i.e. is the default value for b = 8 or 6? What is your use case for these rule attributes in USD? An alternative might be for you to use the "report" statement which will be exported as USD attributes on the USD "component" nodes. This allows you to control the semantics of values independently: The reported value will appear prefixed with the "CityEngine:Reports:" namespace on the "component" node: Another reason we only export non-default values of CGA rule attributes is motivated by use cases which need to replicate the input to the model generation, e.g. in Palladio (Houdini plugin). One would export the shapes (not the models) with the rule attribute values. In this use case, setting attributes to default values would be wrong as illustrated in the above example (b would be fixed to 8 and not generated as 6 if a is 3).   ... View more

Hello & thanks for your interest in CityEngine and Omniverse. Which version of CityEngine Trial did you install? The empty list in the screenshot suggests it is neither 2021.1, nor 2022.0. Unfortunately, version 2022.1 is currently NOT yet supported by the Omniverse Connector. The latest supported CityEngine version is 2022.0. We are working on the update. Thanks for your patience and kind regards, Simon ... View more

Hi & thanks for your interest! 1. Yes, the latest CE version with a connector is currently 2022.0. We hope to release the 2022.1 version in the next two weeks or so. 2. You can do a normal USD export and then upload/copy the files onto the Omniverse Nucleus drive. The only thing which does not work is the incremental update, the content itself is exactly the same. Thanks for your patience & best, Simon ... View more

A quick investigation showed that this is happening because all vertex attributes include vertex normals currently share one index. If you would enable shared/smooth vertex normals, the faces should have shared points. I've logged an issue for improvement: https://github.com/Esri/palladio/issues/200 ... View more
