[029] How to Perform Vertical and Horizontal Splits in CityEngine
How First Edge Defines the X-Axis Direction Counter-Clockwise Polygon Construction Behavior Transition from horizontal floor divisions to vertical facade splits by manipulating coordinate axes with alignScopeToGeometry. In CityEngine, procedural modeling relies heavily on understanding the local coordinate system of each shape. This tutorial explains how to use the split command for vertical divisions and introduces the alignScopeToGeometry(zUp) function. By reorienting the Z-axis to the Y-axis, you can apply architectural logic using the more intuitive X and Y plane, making it much easier to code complex building facades, floors, and repeating window patterns. Default Axis Orientation and Split Direction in CityEngine The splits we have learned so far were mainly focused on horizontal divisions. Today, we will cover vertical splits.
