Thanks, I missed that one too. The formatting ended up getting pretty messed up btw Notepad ++ and Visual Studio and I was terrible about fixing it. I do have a lot of work to do as far as understanding loops and multiple cursors (and probably everything else). I'll check out Richard's posts. Thanks! ... View more

I  was looking to get the sum of the number of particular fields in a row that had a value greater than zero (to find how many of these unique attributes each feature had, e.g. ). I think Randy hit on exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a bunch!  ... View more

Thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for! Works great!  ... View more

Nope, I meant the count of fields per row (per feature) where designated fields satisfy a query. Here I am looking for the the count of fields (this would only pertain to 5 of the 40 fields in the feature class) which have a value greater than zero. I would also then like to write the count (sum) of the number of fields that satisfy this query into a new field, so this new field would have a count of 0 (or NULL) or an integer from 1 to 5.  Does this help? I apologize for the lack of clarity. Thanks for the help! I would also like to eventually integrate this into a Python script (eventually). ... View more

Thanks for the input! My scripting options might be limited where I am using CE basic. Is there much Python integration I can do with this version, or would I need to look into upgrading CE? I will look into using feature services in the web scene. Might be my best bet at this point... Thanks again! ... View more

Never mind. That was dumb of me. I replaced 'else: NIL' to 'else: AddOutline' where needed. It's all working fine now. Thanks again for all of your help! Tess ... View more

I have combined the stairs rule with a floor plan rule in hopes of  being able to use the 'floor plan' portion except in the case where the room type is specified as a stairwell in the attributes. The rule works for either the stairs or the floor plan, but I cannot get both to generate at once. CityEngine has automatically assumed two start rules for the rule file (AddOutline and StairMaster). AddOutline is associated with coloring the floors and generating walls and StairMaster (surprise surprise) is for the stairs. When AddOutline is specified as the start rule, the areas where RM_TYPE=STAIR are left empty. When StairMaster is used as the start rule, the stairs are generated but nothing else. How can I get the floor plan and stair shapes to generate simultaneously? Thanks again for all of your help! Tess Here is the rule I have so far: version "2015.1" #attr Fill_Color = "#FFF80" attr Outline_Color = "#000000" @Range(0,1) attr Transparency = 0.1 attr BorderThickness = 0.2 attr Extrude_Height = 1 attr DV_LTR = ""   # This will connect to your object attribute from the GDB.

Hmm it worked perfectly for me...I just added in color and transparency ... View more
