CityEngine 2014 – What’s New? (The Changelogs)

• offset, roofGable, roofHip, roofShed operations: holes in polygons are now supported.
• setback operation: new syntax for selecting uv sets and new uv-based selectors uv.left, uv.right, uv.bottom, uv.top; uv coordinates and vertex normals are not deleted anymore but interpolated for new inner vertices.
• tileUV operation: using 0 for the textureWidth or the textureHeight parameter protects that coordinate from beeing touched.

changes to existing features:

• import: attr value propagation logic was simplified.

bugfixes:

• import: resolving assets from cross-project imports failed in some cases (imports which imported a cga file from the same directory). This was fixed in the cga compiler (CGAC), so existing rpks should be updated.
• assetApproxRatio, assetApproxSize, assetBestRatio, assetBestSize, assetFitSize, fileRandom, imageApproxRatio, imageBestRatio functions: fixed a bug which led to wrong asset lookups if imported from a different project.
• geometry.angle function: fixed a bug which led to wrong results.
• fileSearch operation:
  • hits in the current project were reported in relative path notation; this got changed to absolute workspace paths again.
  • crash fixed if illegal regexps were used in attr initialization
  • spaces within qoutes were broken
• initialShape attributes returned wrong values if used in const / attr functions.
• comp operation: for polygons with holes, the border, insider selectors and the = operator were buggy.
• imageInfo function: does not crash anymore on empty filename.
• imagesSortRatio function: does not crash anymore on empty fileList.
• split operation: fixed a bug which led to deletion of the last leaf of a uv-split in some cases.
• inside function: fixed a bug which led to wrong results.
• Fixed a bug connected to inter-model occlusion of vertically distant initial shapes
