Navigation Schemes - Use pre-defined mouse navigation and keyboard schemes from your favorite 3D application within the CityEngine. Freely adjust the mouse navigation and key settings to your needs.

Navigation Tools - Apply the new explicit navigation tools for easy, modifier-less navigation within your scene.

3D Mouse Support - Use 3Dconnexion 3D mice for faster and more intuitive navigation within your scene.

New Roof Types - Use new roof types such as shed roofs for increased realism of your city.

New Roof Parameters - Apply new parameters to add roof details such as overhang for the simple parameterization of your model.

Concave Polygon Support - Generate roofs of any type on complex, concave shapes reliably.

Inner Rectangle Operation - Reliably determine a optimal inner rectangle on polygons to enable powerful instancing capabilities as in the new example project to download.

Component Split and Extrude Operation - Unify the selectors of the upgraded component split and e.g. reuse the union as a single shape in the advanced extrude operation. Use indices for increased context-sensitivity.

Occlusion - The occlusion queries now allow to check specifically for inter (neighboring buildings) and intra (own building structure) occlusion. Improvements of the underlying occlusion algorithms provide higher accuracy.

CGA Version Reference - Use the new CGA version reference to quickly identify the advancements of the CGA language.

Euler Angles - Apply Euler Angles more reliably due to improved numerical stability.

Offset Operation - Apply positive and negative polygon offset, and use decomposed inner and outer parts separately.

Grow Streets - Use the improved quarter subdivision to create better street networks.

Cleanup Streets - Cleanup your street networks more reliably with the improved segment and note intersection mechanisms.

Create Shapes - Reliably create initial shapes from complex street networks with many short segments.

New and Improved Tools - Use the new shape split tool to subdivide initial shapes manually. Use the improved graph and shape edit tools to edit objects more quickly and accurately. Streets with attributes are retained or correctly modified for most editing operations. 

Shapefile and OpenStreetMap - More powerful shapefile import due to improved handling of first edges and shape orientations, and better cleanup of OSM data.

3D Export Performance - Speed up your exports and use less memory with the highly improved export engine (a.o. fixes the 'ungenerated-models slow-down').

Auto Exit - Operate your network licenses at full capacity with the new auto exit feature.

Safe Mode - Restart the CityEngine with the new safe mode in order to reset your environment and workspace to reliable settings.

Installation - Use the new Welcome Wizard to quickly setup the CityEngine for your needs, watch tutorial videos, and download working examples with only one mouse click.

Larger Scenes - Create larger scenes due to reduced memory footprint and pipeline optimizations.

Rendering - Explore complex initial shapes more intuitively with the improved component isolation modes.

Reporting - Feed default report statistics directly from the Inspector into spread sheets via copy-paste.
