What do you dislike about ArcGIS CityEngine?

One of the most disvantages is that the support don’t speak Spanish or French so if you have a problem you must to communicate with them in English. CGA content isn't especially hard to analyze and get running, however once in a while I wish there were more toolbars and implicit orders to make it go. Somebody totally without coding knowledge or comprehension would almost certainly have a troublesome time. Likewise, which is normal, it utilizes a great deal of the PC's assets to run. This is a great disvantage because not all my workers have a new computer with a fast RAM Memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
