Well still no luck with the search functions. I was able to get the hydrant shapes in (with a different .obj file and a relative path), but the textures didn't come through correctly. In order to apply the color I was looking for, I ended up using this CGA rule to apply a custom texture: version "2015.1" attr myFireHydrantPoints = "assets/FireHydrant/fire hydrant.obj" attr H=0 attr Texture="assets/FireHydrant/red1.jpg" @StartRule Point--> alignScopeToAxes(y)  s(0,H,0) center(xz) r(0,rand(360),0) i(myFireHydrantPoints) comp (f) {all: HydrantTexture} HydrantTexture--> texture(Texture) Thanks for the help!

Are the asset search functions performed within a rule? I have been working with a few (i.e. fileSearch, fileExists, and assetInfo) and am not seeing anything being printed. I do not see a CGA console... Thanks for your help and patience...just learning CE and CGA Tess ... View more

...hmm the relative path didn't seem to do much. I'll keep pecking away at it though. Thanks for the help! Tess ... View more

I am having a similar issue loading OBJ models to point locations. I have created a quick CGA rule to apply to the points to load the .obj models I need. In my case, I am hoping to insert fire hydrants to point locations in my scene. I keep receiving an 'unknown asset' error at the point locations. If I add in a texture rule them I receive an 'unknown texture error'. I have made sure the .obj, .mtl, and any .jpg textures are included in the mapped folder. After having the same issues loading models I had downloaded. I ended up trying to use the fire hydrant in the original Downtown Damage example folder. I have mapped to assets>streets in that folder (the .obj, .mtl, and .jpg images are in the folder) and am still receiving the 'unknown asset' error when I try to load the fire hydrants. The CGA rule I currently have is: version "2015.1" attr myFireHydrantPoints = "C:/Users/gardta/Desktop/Example_Downtown_Damage__2011_2/assets/streets/hydrant.obj" attr H = 0 @StartRule Point--> alignScopeToAxes(y) s(0,H,0) center(xz) r(0,rand(360),0) i(myFireHydrantPoints) I have also tried calling the asset using the const operation, using comp (f) {all: HydrantTexture} and using a separate rule for texture, and manually editing the .obj and .mtl files. Any suggestions? I am still pretty new to CGA. Thanks, Tess ... View more

Oh okay. That makes sense. I will give it a go. Thank you very much for your help! Tess ... View more

Hmm it doesn't look like the extent is limited as I would suspect from a imagery/DEM 'terrain' layer...otherwise I would assume is was a terrain layer. The extent of the texture appears continuous (much like the sky). To me, it seems like maybe a texture has been applied to the base grid or something. Just not sure how this can be done. Thanks for the input. ... View more

Is this still the case for CE 2015? ... View more

Chris, It looks a ton better now. Thank you so much for all of your help and time! Tess ... View more

Absolutely. Thanks! version "2015.1" attr Fill_Color = "#FFF80" attr Outline_Color = "#000000" attr Transparency = 0.9 @StartRule AddOutline -->      offset(-0.2) # thickness of your border. Negative value offsets inwards.      comp( f ) {border: color(Outline_Color) MyBorder. | inside: Shape.}   color(Fill_Color)   set(material.opacity, Transparency)  X. ... View more

That seems to do the trick. Thanks a ton! The fill color is just patchy.... It shows up the same way in the WebScene too. ... View more

Thank you so much for your help! I was able to get the outlines using: version "2015.1" attr Fill_Color = "#FFF80" attr Outline_Color = "#000000" attr Transparency = 0.9 @StartRule AddOutline -->      offset(-0.5) # thickness of your border. Negative value offsets inwards.      comp( f ) {border: color(Outline_Color) MyBorder. | inside: MyInside.}      Shape -->   set(material.opacity, Transparency)   color(Fill_Color) X. Any ideas on how to get the fill color to show up? Thanks again, Tess ... View more
