(Note: TreeAlley is supposed to be used on dynamic street shapes.) Landscaping.cga with start rule Trees and TreeAlley: Creates schematic trees and allows changing their size, distributiontype, density, etc. Landscaping.cga with start rule Water body: Creates a water body with surrounding walls. This is very useful in visually exploring multiple designs. Parts that are not entirely within a zoningvolume produce red-colored geometries.

The attributes will switch todisplay building parts that break the zoning regulations defined in Zoning.cga. Scale it with 'E'.ДЇootprintShape_To_Building.cga: Extrudes a footprint shape and applies building usages.

To rotate abuilding, rotate it's marker with the 'R' key. To draw a point marker, use the Shape Creation Tool ( in the viewport, Shift-S). Size of grid, footprint form, and various other attributes allow easycustomization of the footprints. Pointmarker_To_FootprintShape.cga: Creates footprint shapes from a point marker shape and then uses (imports)FootprintShape_To_Building.cga to extrude these. to a building plot and displays theseas frame. Zoning.cga: Applies zoning definitions such as setbacks, maximum building height etc. Here is an overview of the CGA-files that will be used in this tutorial: Masterplanning develops a schematic design for the building plots, which is in line with the zoning regulations that were justdefined.ДЄs you will see, CityEngine can be used in multiple contexts, disciplines, and planning phases for your projects. Zoning defines and displays the zoning regulations as maximum building height and setbacks for the development area.Д¬opyright 1995-2015 Esri. Urban Planning Tools gives an overview of the CGA-files that we will use to accomplish our urban planning tasks. Many people may find this quite intuitive and more flexible, especially for small to medium-sized contexts. Since writing custom distribution rules for building placement patterns can result in quite complex CGA code, wepropose in this tutorial to simply use either point shapes or manually created footprint shapes of any form, as a faster way to control thefootprint distribution. This tutorial shows how CityEngine's procedural modeling can successfully be applied to a point and polygon 'feature-driven' semi-automated workflow. Changes are immediately reflected in reported key figures such asFAR (floor area ratio). As it is typical work in CityEngine, the refinement of the designs are mostly done byadapting shapes, positions, and changing attributes in the Inspector. Feedback-loops with clients are easily managed by sharing theproposed design options via CityEngine WebScene. CityEngine isparticularly well suited to deal with such processes of iterative nature. In reality, these processes are influenced by a large number of factors, such as a variety of stakeholder interests, budget,project phasing, mobility targets, capacity of infrastructure (public transport, supply and waste), listed buildings, nature conservation, etc.What this simplified example covers in about two hours would take several months up to several years in reality. Of course, urban planning processes are typically reaching a much higher level of complexity than the simplified case described in thistutorial. (This tutorial was developed in collaboration with Matthias Buehler () and the Swissurban planning company SEILER&SEILER (), who use CityEngine extensively for their daily work.) In this tutorial we are developing a schematic design for this area that meets the city'szoning regulations. The goal is to design a mixed use quarter, whereshopping, living, and working will take place. For this purpose, we are using a fictitiousexample of a development area with nine building plots in the center of a city. This tutorial describes how CityEngine can be used to work for typical urban planning tasks. This tutorial describes how CityEngine can be used for typical urban planning tasks.
