What am I doing wrong here?

[Thralni]

Hello all,

This is my first venture into scenProc, and using the manual I've tried to piece together some code to process road and add different light poles depending on what kind of road it is. I see in the code it's creating points, but then no polygons or objects are created, and subsequently no autogen files are created... Form the manual I'm, not getting the sense that I'm doing anything wrong, so I'm pretty stumped on what my error is. Any ideas? See my code below.

I was trying to attached the log file, but have no idea of how to export the event log... At any rate, it shows the creation of points along the roads as specified, but never creates the actual polygons and all subsequent steps don't produce any results.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

In the PlacePointsAlongLine step you are adding an attribute:

doublelight1=LIGHT

But later you are checking for:

type=doublelight1

So nothing will be found there. So set the right attribute and it should work.

Oof, I can't believe I made such a sloppy mistake and then didn't even notice it -.- I suppose that teaches me not to learn these things after midnight! Thanks Arno, as always you're a lifesaver. I changed it and it works flawlessly now...

I do have another question though. I notice in the manual that describes this code that a GUID is used for a lightpole, but when I look it up in the Autgen Editor, this GUID seems to belong to a telephone pole? So when I look into streetlights (the GUIDs I already have in the code posted above), it gives me the depth and width that are also in the code, but it doesn't seem to be able to actually place a polygon of this size... So I'm not too sure how to proceed. How can I place something that seems to be too small to be placed...? Can I change the depth and width to be bigger than the actual requirement as stated in the Autogen Editor?

EDIT: Actually never mind. I can't seem to place the light poles manually in the annotator, but ScenProc has no problem doing it!
