Thank you so much Taisha, it's greatly appreciated. Just a bit of feedback as to why I asked ... the 30 day free trial is/can be a real time saver for some of us who otherwise need to go through our IT departments in order to access these latest releases and then wait for them to be packaged up into official software updates. This way saves me days if not weeks sometimes and is especially handy if you want to test and implement something in the latest release (as is the case now) for an upcoming deadline. Thank you once again.  Alan K.      ... View more

Thanks Taisha Fabricius‌ This might be stretching the CE friendship a bit but any chance we can also get a 2020.1 version now as well? The usual 30 Day Free Trial NEXT button seems to go nowhere at the moment ?   ... View more

Could you perhaps use python to determine image brightness and encode it into the filename of the images you are dealing with? Suggests he who is terrible at python   Not ideal but theoretically it would work for what you need. ... View more

Hi Tim, Glad you like it.  It's still very much a hack but a good and useful one   I have an intense week or two coming up but I'll see if I can shoot you something across after that. Cheers. ... View more

You could simply report it but that's not really usable for aggregated internal calculations unless you do it with Python. Here's one that calculates number of dwellings per hectare. PS: I colour the bottom splits just for a visual check. Not that you can see it from this angle.     version "2019.1" @Hidden attr length = 30 attr width = 30 // Added this -------------------------------------------------------------- attr buildingNumber = 0 attr parcelArea = geometry.area // Added this -------------------------------------------------------------- Generate--> split(x) { 25 : Garden | length : split(z) { 25: Garden | width:Building}*}* Building--> case geometry.area < length*width -5 : Garden else : extrude(30) // Added this -------------------------------------------------------------- comp(f) { bottom : label("countBuilding") countBuildings | all : NIL. } countBuildings --> color(1,0,0) set(buildingNumber,contextCount(intra, "countBuilding")) print("Dwelling Density Per Ha " + buildingNumber/(parcelArea/10000)) print("Building Count " + buildingNumber) // Added this -------------------------------------------------------------- ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ...

As per my reply here  CityEngine 2019 missing Plant Library ?  If you have ESRI.lib installed correctly in your workspace, and your projects sitting in there correctly too, then it should work properly. It does for me. Otherwise you'll need to supply more info on how you have these set up.    ... View more

I can't test your rulefile obviously, so I tried a quick test exporting some building footprints that are mapped with an aerial image - pretty standard stuff.    I get a one to one match between CE view and OBJ, FBX and Collada. (this is with Lightwave as I don't have MAX on this machine - but can test it tomorrow)   As Kenneth mentioned, try centering the model, plus try using "Only write first layer of UV's" perhaps ? Autodesk developed / owns the FBX format so I find it hard to fathom that it wouldn't work properly with MAX.   ... View more

... nevermind folks.  I've figured out where I was going wrong, seems my python understanding was somewhat lacking. ... View more
