I am trying to build a sidewalk with a parkway (landscaped) area between the sidewalk and the street. Its a fairly straight forward v split that works fine until I get to the intersections where the crosswalks lead to patch of grass. By linking the object attribute to valency, I am able to access some of geometry and get something close to what I am looking for (not ideal). I can offset the crosswalks the width of my parkway for better alignment, but it only makes the crosswalks on the bottom of the image look even more disconnected. Does anyone have any suggestions in how I can better access the sidewalk geometry to get this looking better? Like a split.index or some other property? Ideally, the concrete area in the bottom middle goes way and there is only concrete in the sections that are adjacent to the crosswalk. Thanks for your help.

Thanks Thomas. I figured as much. My issue is (first world problem....) I work on a 4K monitor with an ultra high resolution and clicking on the tiny colored bars in the Vertical Ruler requires total mastery and precision of the mouse. Perhaps a new feature request?

I suppose that is the best option. Thank you sir.

The features of the CGA Editor seemed to be left out of the documentation. I managed to find that I can place bookmarks in my CGA which is very helpful when coding a large rule, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to jump between them. There is also a way to add tasks which is nice, but again, no documentation.

It would really help my workflow if I could be viewing models from one layer, while viewing the shapes of another. Right now models and shapes can be toggled only globally.

Can you post your rule or code you are using to generate the columns?

This isn't always perfect, but it's a trick I use and works well - I scale up the roofplane and then center it. /** * File: Geonet_Overhang.cga * Created: 27 Sep 2017 15:58:51 GMT * Author: Devin Lavigne */ version "2017.0" #THIS IS A PERCENTAGE @Range(1.0,2.0) attr overHang=1 @Range("Shed","Pyramid") attr roofStyle = "Shed" @StartRule Generate--> extrude(10) comp(f) {top:RoofPlane | side:Wall} RoofPlane--> s('1*overHang,'1*overHang,'1) center(xy) BuildRoof BuildRoof--> case roofStyle=="Shed": roofShed(10) else: roofPyramid(40) ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Same thing started happening to me with a concurrent license. I fixed the issue by deleting the .data file in my FLEXnet folder (for me it was C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet)

Thanks Douglas. I was using 1.2 - just fixed a hiccup that should allow me to update to Insights 2.0 A really awesome product.

Is there a way to edit the specific colors of the charts and maps. Seems like I am forced to used a random color ramp. I have changed a layer visualization on ArcGIS Online and the map looks fine, but then if I create another card with a chart, the colors are randomly assigned so the charts colors do not match the map colors.

That is odd. What do you think the angle of the third split is? Maybe the bug is reverting it back to byAngle

Is the number of floors coming from an import SHP file or some other location? Or are you looking to manually (or randomly) assign number of floors?

I love that image! Of course Cheryl is right on the mark. We used CityEngine on that image, but the final rendering was done in another program. Houseal Lavigne Associates » Woodridge Town Centre Master Plan

It would be great if attributes could be conditional - and remain hidden until some other condition is met. Take for example Holisticbynature Complete Streets Rule, if there were no bike lanes, then the attributes for bike lanes would be hidden or collapsed in the inspector.

I don't know the exact number, but I feel like there are only about 10 undos, maybe less. Sometimes when I am writing CGA I have to make a more than 10 different changes throughout the code before I can test the results. The undos also only apply to the window or frame in focus - so that can get a little confusing.
