Unfortunately erase duplicates isn't one of the free functions in ET Geowizards. I'm attempting to iterate through my dataset, selecting identical and deleting using model builder.  It's not very intuative - had some strange results.... currently running attempt 3..... fingers crossed. ...

Ok, the bit I'm looking at is called Item Description - I click on the bit of text under the tool name in Search.  It has exactly the same content as the help but it says 'no limitations'. Thanks for your help.  I wish I could see some logic in the way Arc is laid-out. ... View more

This is not true in the offline help - it says no limitations. I guess I should use online help. Thanks all. ... View more

Thanks Nidhin. In that case ersi's documentation is incorrect. ... View more

I want to get another minor gripe about 2014 off my chest: Previously in 2012 if you hit generate it would generate according to the rule file as it stands. Now in 2014 it uses the last saved version of the rule file - so if you are testing rules there are lots additional tedious ctrl-s button presses, and lots of "why isn't this doing anything" followed by "oh flip, I forgot to save it" or "darn-it, I accidentally saved the scene instead of the rule file". ...

So it seems I can no longer have my projects set up as shown in my original post - it seems rule files must now be in the same project as any file they reference.  So I have two choices: 1] I copy my library of facade images and my rule file into every project --- nope. 2] I move my aerial photos and DTMs, which are specific to each project, into my 'Libraries' folder --- ok, but seems illogical captain. Not a big problem for me to adapt to this, it means I'll no longer have wierd cross-references in my rule file so they'll be a bit easier to understand......but why can't we be free? ... View more

The 50%: rule looks at each polygon and streams a certain percentage in a certain direction.  So if your building is made of 4 polygons (i.e. 4 walls) each one can go into a different stream.  So you need to move the 50% rule to a point in your code where each building is only one polygon (i.e. just a building footprint). ...

If projection is to be the same you don't have to set for every texture, you can just set it once at the beginning: .... lot--> setupProjection(0,scope.xy,~7,~3,0) projectUV(0) Lot2 Lot2--> case buildingType == "class1": buildingTex1 case buildingType == "class2": buildingTex2 case buildingType == "class3": buildingTex3 ... buildingTex1--> texture("assets/texture/facade2/CRBuilding_1.jpg") .................... or if you can rename your texture something like "CRBuilding_class1.jpg" you could do this: ... lot--> setupProjection(0,scope.xy,~7,~3,0) texture("assets/texture/facade2/CRBuilding_"+buildingType+".jpg") projectUV(0) i.e. think about making your attributes and texture names work together: ...
