Can't run citygml-tools #9

Hey guys,

unfortunately I am not able to run the tool. I followed the instructions and tried to open "citygml-tools" in the bin folder.

The command line gets opened but ends the process immediately:

`citygml-tools ; exit; Missing required subcommand. Usage: citygml-tools [-hV] [--log=] [COMMAND] Collection of tools for processing CityGML files. --log= Log level: error, warn, info, debug (default: info). -h, --help Show this help message and exit. -V, --version Print version information and exit. Commands: help Displays help information about the specified command change-height Changes the height values of city objects by a given offset. remove-apps Removes appearances from city objects. move-global-apps Converts global appearances to local ones. clip-textures Clips texture images to the extent of the target surface. filter-lods Filters the LoD representations of city objects. reproject Reprojects city objects to a new spatial reference system. from-cityjson Converts CityJSON files into CityGML. to-cityjson Converts CityGML files into CityJSON. logout Saving session... ...copying shared history... ...saving history...truncating history files... ...completed.

[Process terminated]`

Any suggestions where the line "Missing required subcommand" comes from? I installed Java through homebrew. Could this cause the issue?

Best, Benni

Apparently the citygml-tools CLI has to be used via sub-commands, e.g. to-cityjson. In the message that you copy-pasted, it gives you a list of possible sub-commands:

help Displays help information about the specified command
change-height Changes the height values of city objects by a given offset.
remove-apps Removes appearances from city objects.
move-global-apps Converts global appearances to local ones.
clip-textures Clips texture images to the extent of the target surface.
filter-lods Filters the LoD representations of city objects.
reproject Reprojects city objects to a new spatial reference system.
from-cityjson Converts CityJSON files into CityGML.
to-cityjson Converts CityGML files into CityJSON.

@derhuerst explained it correctly. You have to specify a subcommand to run citygml-tools.

Open a console, switch to the bin folder and type the following to get a list of the available subcommands:

$ citygml-tools --help

For instance, to convert CityGML files into CityJSON, use the subcommand to-cityjson. To see the possibilities of the to-cityjson subcommand, type the following.

$ citygml-tools to-cityjson --help

Hope this helps.
