thanks. ... View more

It was not created with CityEngine.  The model is a photo-generated mesh and was delivered to me as an SPK.  It also came with the I3S files that were used to create the scene. ... View more

I was wrong about reducing file size....It just did not export to my desktop properly (my apologies).  I now have the whole scene (slpk) on my desktop to try and upload to ArcGIS online. I did not create this particular scene in CityEngine.  It was given to me along with the i3s files.  It is a 3D textured mesh of part of the city. I am not sure if any coordinate system was used. I updated my ArcGIS Pro version....and now it recognizes the . SLPK (that was originally a .SPK but I changed the file extension). It says "running" and makes it to 100%....but when it says "initializing", it fails with error. in file... Also, I am not familiar with "RMB > Share As".  I am using the Share Package tool. Thanks again. ... View more

I am still having no luck.  I have the SPK file down to 45mb.  However, it will not load to ArcGIS online through the website or ArcPro Share Package tool.  Both crash with a generic error.  I also tried to change the SPK to SLPK.  This give the same result only this time ArcPro would not recognize the file. For this model I have all the files that make up the I3S, but I am not sure how to rebuild the SPK from these files. Thanks again. ... View more

I am actually not sure on this David.  I found this thread from Trimble... However...I think it would be best to create a shader and rail model to use if you are going to send out a CS update. I will make some cool ones and send it to you. ... View more

Yes..your right, it would be cool even without intersection tracks.  I have been thinking maybe their is a way to scaleUV() an intersection texture that already has a track based on street orientation and width.  Im just not sure where to start. ... View more

Im actually not sure about credits to models.  I got those from the Sketchup warehouse for testing and building (except for the small ramp which I made).  I will have to look into using/crediting from Warehouse and get back to you. when the time comes we use it..I will probablly make my own Shader and Rail car (thats my favorite part)...which I will share. ...

Hi David! Yes I am using the CS rule.  Always modifying (probably not for the better) to these crazy Nashville projects. haha It was nothing bad on your end.  You wrote the "CenterLineReporting-->" to revert to a color() function if the user wants Usage instead of Thematic.  For some reason that was throwing off most of the textures in my Lite Rail assets.  I just simply bypassed with a boolean.. I will certainly share.  I have attached the code, models, textures here. It is not very accurate or robust..but I primarily just need these things already in place when I go from CityEngine to animation software.  Its a huge time saver. As for intersections...I have just been adding the missing track manually in the animation software by projecting the track texture onto a flat plane that is at the same elevation as the intersection (cheating I know, but I have not found a work around in CityEngine for adding tracks to intersection ...and thankfully I dont have many intersections in this project) If you would like to add onto CS and try making lite rail mode more permanent that would be awesome. Let me know if you need anything. Micah ... View more

Ok, I figured it out. There was a color() function called on the lane the train is sitting on earlier in the code...I bypassed the color function and the train looks correct. ... View more
