\"\"<\/a>This is duplicate post of a discussion I started on ESRI\u2019s CityEngine support forum<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The next part of this thread is to start a simple road CGA rule file that can take into account the road classification field. This code is based in part on the tutorial examples given by CityEngine but I’ve modified them for the purpose of this discussion (with myself). The principles here can be applied for many rule sets not just road networks.<\/p>\n

This CGA rule will create different looking roads depending on the road classification and place a lamp post at regular intervals on designated streets. I’ve also added a rule for a covered market street but this is to be added manually in CityEngine.<\/p>\n

Road classes are taken from the Streetnetwork’s “layer attribbutes” with code code like this : attr roadClass = getObjectAttr(“ROADCLASS_FIELDNAME_FROM_GIS”)<\/p>\n
