Examples

Note:

• The translation values are calculated by the CityEngine based on the corner of the asset's bounding box, by using the corner with the lowest possible x, y and z coordinates (XYZmin).
• Any specific 3d transformations (in this example maya's translations X = 0.6, Y = 0.7, Z = 0.8) are not to be confused accidentally with the translations the CityEngine computes.
