Netherlands and others

3DMaps

• Core technology for rendering

unlimited 3D worlds and GIS

data

Long history...

• Supported ContextCapture models since 2012

• Content pipeline proven (output as LOD Tree)

• Supports unlimited size Reality Models

• Example: Stockholm

• 500 km2, 650 GB, 4.5 million files

• Over 10 billion triangles

• Stream over Internet

References

• More than 50% customers (cities) in

Sweden using RealityModels

• Customers are upgrading their

RealityModels in 2-3 year cycles

• Working with local and international

data providers such as TerraTec,

Slagboom, COWI, Niras, Norkart,

Sweco, WSP, and more

Use cases for ContextCapture models with CityPlanner

• Conceptual modelling, sketching,

visualisation for Urban planning &

Infrastructure

• Communication and Dialogue with

stakeholders and citizens

• Showrooms and exhibitions. Eye

catcher visualisation to attract

investors.

Content Workflow:ContextCapture – Export as LOD Tree

Content Workflow:Microstation – Export as shape

2D

Extrude 3D

Content Workflow: Microstation - Export CAD as DAE/Collada

Content Workflow: Microstation - Creation of project terrain

Content WorkflowContextCapture – UAV 3D model to LOD Tree output

• Visualise standalone or mix

with DEM/larger 3D city

model

• Mature customers are

infusing their DEM with local

UAV 3D RealityModels

• Trend/wish from customers

is to continously updating

instead of waiting 3-4 years

and redo entire city

Spatial DB and extruded to 3D

geometry from attributes

• Used for urban densification

analysis

Integrating point clouds

• CityPlanner supports mixing

content in a unified view

• Stream and visualise point

clouds mixed with RealityModels,

3D CAD, POI’s and more..
