Okay please excuse me whilst I engage smug mode<\/a> …. perhaps I should ask for more in my blogs! \u00a0If you’re not sure why I said that, read this: \u201cWill you SketchUp your CityEngine, please?<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

The new 2012.1 CityEngine!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Okay so I was asking for it to be made easier to use, not to just put in some\u00a0rudimentary\u00a03D modelling\/editing tools into CityEngine (like SketchUp\u2019s…), but it’s a start!<\/p>\n

Push\/Pull tool anyone?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As this screenshot from the Mid-Morning Plenary at this years ESRIUC<\/a> in San Diego shows that\u2019s what they\u2019ve done. \u00a0\u00a0I hope they made it so that the model you create is described as a CGA rule so you can use it elsewhere but I doubt it..<\/p>\n

Looks like there might be some distance measuring capabilities in there too at last, as it’s a much needed feature. \u00a0 When a manual model is created it seems that the length of the line is displayed.<\/p>\n

There are some other icons also along that toolbar as well so I’m very curious to know what they are.<\/p>\n

One thing that puzzles me is the lack of a beta program for CityEngine, I’ve asked and been told there isn’t one. \u00a0However the guys at Honolulu seem to be getting the latest releases… is this a government customer thing?<\/p>\n

I’ll be posting more on this later and perhaps some thoughts on what the guys in Honolulu are doing. \u00a0I’m particularly interested in there public consultation ideas…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
