Hi All, Is it possible to create new attributes for an object, and have them exported along with the file geodatabase? That would be my first question, there will lead to another. If this is possible, could I den write object attributes on a scatter inside a polygon? I got a square, and I have used the scatter function to create scatter points on the center of each line, and the total center of the polygon. Rule -->         scatter(surface,1,gaussian,center,'0) { Shape }                       scatter(surface,1,gaussian,right,'0) { Shape }                       scatter(surface,1,gaussian,left,'0) { Shape }                       scatter(surface,1,gaussian,front,'0) { Shape }                       scatter(surface,1,gaussian,back,'0) { Shape } I would like to split those five points, and assign an attribute with their orientation. Those points should all have attributes from the polygon like: Building ID, so I can merge the attribute table inside ArcMAP + a new attribute field e.g. “Orientation” with the values Right,left, center and so on. By now only one scatter point get’s the object attributes; I guess that is because they are collected as one, and I’m not able to split, or assign new object attributes. So what I would like to try out with this is, to create a buffer around the points, inside ArcMAP, and collect the MEAN Lidar height to each buffer, and then be able to read the roof height on each buffer, assign that back to the building footprint, so I will get a left, right, front, back and center height, those values I can use inside a cga rule to control the roof geometry. Any ideas?    ... View more

Hi, Its likely that this issue can’t be solved, an easy way, but trying to ask anyway, maybe there are some ideas. We got a lot of data on each land registers. There could be a lot of land registers on each building footprint. Like many other contries we got a lot of buildings with many different ages with different styles built together. In our case those building are drawn together in one building polygon. That is a big mess. So we split each polygon with the land register layer. Great, know I’m able to control the rule on every land register. That would give me the variety like when you walk down an old street. But I just noticed that for some reason I got a lot of buildings, that shouldn’t be split up by the land register, since they are built in the same year, and therefor it’s the same building. This is probably a long shot but could it be possible to merge polygones together again “case” they got the date of built? The best way would probably be to create some kind of filter, before they where split up. So this is more to check out the possibilities ... View more

Hi, I’m trying to create a rule, where I can change the angle for different floors. My first issue, was actually right in the beginning, how to extrude at a building angled, with the bottom still aligned to the terrain. Matt I saw a video with you explaining the concepts of scope (I think it was) and I think that would get me at step further. I did found the thread once again, but the video link does not work anymore. What I was trying to was to use the envelope function, but I can’t get that to create a negative angle. So if the front angle was 45 degrees , the back angle should be the same, just in a negative direction. I’m attaching an image of what I’m trying to achieve. By the way, I need to be rulebased, not shapemodeled, for many reasons ... View more

What is the best standard for rendering a CityEngine scene? I guess it need to get exported to a 3’rd party software, like Maya or 3D studioMAX. Is that the way to go? ... View more
