Dear all, I am drawing a storage area. and at the moment i am struggling with the containers. Those are an imported shapefile. The containers have always the same height = 2.6. The goal is to randomize several heights (multiples of 2.6 to a maximum of 10.4 = 4 containers over each other). and colors. This is my failed attempt. I'am sure is simpler than this. I just probably went in the wrong direction. @StartRule attr A= 2.6 attr B= 5.2 attr C= 7.6 attr D= 10.4 Containers-->                extrude (rand(2.6, 2.6), rand (5.2,5.2), rand(7.6,7.6), rand(10.4,10.4)) HGT HGT-->                case HGT == A: ContainerColor                else:                          case HGT== B:                                    split(y) {'0.5 : ContainerColor | ~0.5: ContainerColor}                          case HGT==C:                                    split(y) {'0.33 : ContainerColor | '0.33 : ContainerColor | ~0.33: ContainerColor}                          else:                                    split(y) {'0.25 : ContainerColor | '0.25 : ContainerColor | '0.25 : ContainerColor | ~0.25: ContainerColor} ContainerColor-->                color(rand(0,1), rand(0,1)) ...

Hello, I have seen several CE Web Scenes and all of those have the title as it is set in the City Engine. But where I am struggling is to complete the information tab that comes with the webscene. How can I add information to this tab? Sorry if someone else made this question before but I didn't find it. cheers Pedro ... View more

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way of changing the defaults for the streets and intersections. This way I could draw my streets with design that i elected. If it is not possible is there a way to manipulate the intersections in a rule file? I tried also with a rule but I got stuck with the intersections. I don't know how to "call" the "minArcRadius" The final goal, it is a street with no sidewalk and sharp corners. I have done a rule file. Here is the extract related with the street: : @StartRule sidewalkWidthLeft       = (geometry.dv(0,unitSpace)) sidewalkWidthRight    = (geometry.dv(0,unitSpace)) minArcRadius             = 0 I assumed that by giving the direct name of the attributes present in the inspector it would work. But in fact in the inspector when I select a segment there is no start rule. Sidewalk -->      split(v,unitSpace,0) {1 : Curbs | 0: Pavement} Curbs-->      extrude (0) Pavement      extrude (0) Here I copy an existing rule "street modern simple". but again it didn't work. I had a look (in fact I am still doing it) to a rule file named "Complete street simple" but appear to be just for streets with sidewalks; although it looks very complete it does not have any example without sidewalk.      thanks in advance Pedro ...

Hi, I have manage to do different setbacks to my lot!!!! Thanks to the forum! However the result only works when the lot has subdivision (shapes/block parameters/type/...). If I pretend to do something like in the figure. How could I change my rule to do it? Lot--> setback (9) {street.front : NIL | remainder :      setback (3.9) {street.back: NIL | remainder:           setback (4.46) {street.side: NIL | remainder:                Grow           }      } } Grow--> extrude(rand(6,8)) Thanks in advance Pedro ...
