Setagnbuildingtexture

[MyPC8MyBrain]

i am trying to sections my project so i can apply SETAGNBUILDINGHEIGHT & SETAGNBUILDINGTEXTURE for each section,

provided i created a closed poly called AreaA and AreaB via kml & merged into buildings shp
can i do something like this?

SETAGNBUILDINGHEIGHT|type=[B]AreaA[/B]|0.1;0.2;0.3;0.4
SETAGNBUILDINGHEIGHT|type=[B]AreaB[/B]|0.4;0.3;0.2;0.1
#
SETAGNBUILDINGTEXTURE|type=[B]AreaA[/B]|Area_A
SETAGNBUILDINGTEXTURE|type=[B]AreaB[/B]|Area_B
#
CREATEAGNGENBUILD|FTYPE=POLYGON;FROMFILE=buildings.shp;type=[B]AreaA[/B];FWIDTH<20|{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}|MAXRATIO=2
CREATEAGNGENBUILD|FTYPE=POLYGON;FROMFILE=buildings.shp;type=[B]AreaA[/B];FWIDTH>20|{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
CREATEAGNGENBUILD|FTYPE=POLYGON;FROMFILE=buildings.shp;type=[B]AreaB[/B];FWIDTH<20|{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}|MAXRATIO=2
CREATEAGNGENBUILD|FTYPE=POLYGON;FROMFILE=buildings.shp;type=[B]AreaB[/B];FWIDTH>20|{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
#

[EDITED AFTER POST]
tested above steps didn't work,
tested with FAREA; no joy either

any advice on how i can achieve this


TIA

Hi Chris,

SETAGNBUILDINGTEXTURE is unique for each Tile, so all building on a single Tile refer to the same AGNBuildingTexture (like BuildingHeight)... you can't modify this value in function of feature attribute cause it could be different on a same Tile.

Thank you Vogel

i understand why my steps above didn't work
i am less concerned about SETAGNBUILDINGHEIGHT
id like to be able to segment into area's for applying different textures for each tile

if i use something like this

SETAGNBUILDINGHEIGHT|*|0.1;0.2;0.3;0.4
#
SETAGNBUILDINGTEXTURE|*|Area_A
SETAGNBUILDINGTEXTURE|*|Area_B
SETAGNBUILDINGTEXTURE|*|Area_C

#
CREATEAGNGENBUILD|FTYPE=POLYGON;FROMFILE=buildings.shp;type=AreaA;FWIDTH<20|{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}|MAXRATIO=2
CREATEAGNGENBUILD|FTYPE=POLYGON;FROMFILE=buildings.shp;type=AreaA;FWIDTH>20|{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
#

scenProc will divide SPLITGRID into three
than spread the texture evenly across
i was hoping i can control the spreading; instead of dividing into three



Best regards

Yes I'm agree with you, It could be a good idea to add filter to AGNbuildingTexture like AGNbuildingHeight based on center of Tile(in or out of a Area)...

 

[arno]

Hi,

The filter for the autogen height and texture works that it will check if the center of the autogen tile is inside a polygon that matches the filter. So it should be possible to do what you want.

Back to the first post, did you add an attribute with the name type and the value areaA to the polygon you created? You need to make sure the filter matches the data you load.

 

[MyPC8MyBrain]

Thank you Arno
yes; i have manually added AreaA and AreaB attributes to building shape file
after i merged the kml including the area poly's (closed)

is it possible that scenProc looks at the houses polygons as holes inside the areaA poly


Best regards

Chris,

 

[arno]

Hi,

Scenproc would never create holes out of nowhere. Can you should the data you made?

 

[MyPC8MyBrain]

Thank you Arno
there was no data created at the end of the job
i will run the job and post the steps and log in few minutes


Chris,

 

[arno]

Hi,

I more mean the input kml file you made.

 

[MyPC8MyBrain]

Thank's Arno

im with you there; i believe i did

let me know if log is required as well

 

[MyPC8MyBrain]

just to update information,

KML was first saved as shape, than merged to buildings with QGIS

did you want me to post the original kml or the converted shape?


Chris,

 

[arno]

Hi,

The attribute names are case sensitive, in your shp it seems to be type, but you have TYPE in your configuration file.

 

[MyPC8MyBrain]

i didn't realize filter is also case sensitive

Thank you Arno, much appreciated!

Best regards

Chris,

 

[MyPC8MyBrain]

Ive fixed my mistakes, it works now!
but results are strange
i keep trying different syntax for steps
cant figure out what im doing wrong




Chris,

 

[arno]

Hi,

Why are you using FAREA? That is a special attribute for the area of the feature. So comparing it to a string makes no sense here.

 

[MyPC8MyBrain]

oops, this was just my last trial, i didn't even noticed
i used type prior, with similar results

i cant seem to reference the kml poly; as area, they get defined as buildings


Regards

CHris

 

[arno]

Hi,

Why don't you load the kml file with the IMPORTKML step? Then it is not mixed with your buildings. Merging it might make things harder. If you import it from a separate file you can use the FROMFILE attribute to distinguish them.

 

[MyPC8MyBrain]

Thank you Arno

im little confused, there will be two different files
how would i go about referencing an area from one file
with objects from another



i'm already using fromfile=
can i use fromfile twice in the same filter statement?


Chris,

 

[arno]

Do you need to do that? For setting the texture you need the polygon from the kml file and for making the buildings you use the shapefile. I don't see why you need to use both of them at once.

 

[MyPC8MyBrain]

can you please show me an example?
i think that will help me better understand how to go about this

i am trying to use a different buildings texture in some areas
i thought i could use poly from kml to define the area

Regards

Chris,
