Brian - this is good work. I have similar files that do similar things and have used the recent ability of reading .CSV files to reduce the repetitive coding. You can get the best and more predictable results when you set up your projections early in your rule, before you start splitting your shapes into floors, windows, etc... ... View more

You can call your Generate rule from your Lot. I think the cleanest way to would be to put it on top and I would give it a more distinct/memorable name. The code below should work and will scatter 100 trees. Lot --> InsertTrees primitiveQuad(1920,1080) comp(f) {top:alignScopeToAxes(y) SATimage | all: NIL} SATimage--> texture("images/Satellite Imagery/Test Test/sattest.png") InsertTrees--> scatter(surface, 100, uniform){PlantTree} PlantTree--> i(Tree)   ...

Thanks @ThomasFuchs  - cga too right? ... View more

Its the not the projects - its the workspaces. I've moved to a workflow that keeps the workspaces local and the projects in cloud storage, but with this approach they aren't backed up. ... View more

agree with this 100%. Would be very nice to code into predefined styles. ... View more

Yeah exactly. Maybe eyedropper brush applies the rule and all attributes, but holding down shift or control limits to just the rule itself. Or vice versa. ... View more

Just to add a little Cheryl's answer...what gets spit out is in square meters, so you'll need to convert it with a multiplier. You can multiply in place but I'd suggest you get in the habit of using constants. I have a mini library I copy and paste to start every rule I write. const sqm2acres = 0.000247105 #square meters to acres Lot --> report("Area", geometry.area * sqm2acres) X.‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ... View more

Okay. Seems to have worked. We will "flip" the custom domain switch once we are comfortable everything is there. ... View more

It is. I'm investigating this further and it looks like there is a Hub application but not a Hub Initiative. Forward SGF is the custom domain  This will also get you there.  Thanks Graham. https://springfield-comp-plan-hlplanning.opendata.arcgis.com ... View more

Just use a stochastic rule in your attribute. This will randomize on seed generation and then give you the ability to change it.  Something like the code below should work.  @Enum("texA.jpg","texA.jpg","texC.jpg","texD.jpg") attr Texture =  25%: "texA.jpg" 25%: "texB.jpg"                 25%: "texC.jpg"                else: "texD.jpg"‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

I've created a rule that subdivides land and then passes the "pad" to a master rule that builds the structure. All of that works fine. If I modify the master_structure rule everything refreshes fine. Subdivide.cga --> master_structure.cga The problem I'm encountering is that I've created a master rule to create PBR textures from a library and other master rules that create doors and windows. When those rules are modified (so a reference within a reference if you will) they do not refresh. I have to make some revision to the master_structurerule to get CityEngine to "see" revisions to 3rd tier references. Subdivide.cga --> master_structure.cga --> master_texture.cga                                        --> master_doors.cga                                        --> master_windows.cga And if I just draw a shape and apply master_structure to it, I can edit its references with expected behavior - its the third level of reference where its breaking or not triggering a compile of the new cga.  Does this make sense? I can screenshare with you if you'd like.  ... View more

I think this bug has resurfaced. Updated linked CGA files aren't "refreshing" in the master file. ... View more
