Hello, I'm attempting to build a parking garage rule that counts actual parking spaces created (so if you know of a rule that does this better than what I'm attempting please let me know  ).  I've come across two rules 1)Parking_Garage.cga (by Blake Harcourt) ("Garage"), which generates multiple stories with appropriate concrete facades, but is lacking the parking space generation I'm looking for.  I'm attempting to combine this with Parking_Lot.cga (by geof7015)("Lot"), by copying all the attributes and rules into "Garage" which does a comp (f) for every story and sending the bottom face to what was the start rule for "Lot" and continuing through its process unchanged.  The results range from every story having a blank white bottom face, to stretched linear splits that are supposed to be the parking spaces, streets, and medians, but all the wrong shapes (turns out its blank when the spaces are rotated 0, 90, 180, ect, but it attempts to actually make the splits when set to a rotation degree between).  Does anyone know if splits act differently if the shape in question has been split earlier?  It doesn't make sense to my limited programming knowledge. Here's the "Lot" rule in action: Here's the "Garage" Rule: And here's them combined: ... View more

Hello, I'm trying to import and texture a large terrain into a CityEngine scene that is well larger than max terrain size.  We have tiled both the DEM and the imagery and are bringing them in 1 by 1.  The DEMs seem to import fine without the texture, its when we try to apply the orthoimagery we get a wide array of problems.  When trying to texture with a TIFF or PNG the tiles just turn either black or white (assuming because not 8-bit?), and when converting the images to anything 8 bit in ArcGIS we are getting random rows and columns on the border of the image that are just black pixels.  The 8 bit images do import probably as textures they just look awful from the previous conversions.  Does anyone have any tips for overcoming these issues? Also has anyone ever encountered the "Split Raster" tool in ArcGIS running but not outputting any files?  Its happening to me about 80% of the time.  It usually only does TIFFs properly, although I got it to do PNGs once. ...

Hello, I'm looking to develop a tool (ideally through model builder as my python writing ability is not stellar) that creates a simple user interface that has dropdown menus for desired fields of a selected table and typed input users to type in a numeric value for each.  I.e.: FIELD    VALUE A         =  30 B         =  50 C         =  10 ect. I'm stuck in two places here: 1. I'm creating a value table in model builder with a column type of "field" and a column type of "string."  I'm having trouble linking this value table of inputs to the input table.  I can't make it a precondition, or a dependency parameter in the properties menu. 2.  I'm then trying to run an "Iterate Multivalue" through my value table and then for each iteration call both the field and the value into the "Calculate Field" tool.   Would simply calling %Field% for the field input and %value% for the expression input suffice, I'm not sure what is being contained in the "Value" output of the iteration.  Thank you! ...
