Abstract
 3-D model development case study at Troy University Track: Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Author(s): Steve Ramroop The development of GIS applications has over the years been increasing. The visualizations of the end results from such GIS applications form part of the end product that is used in the final output. This paper discusses the procedure and results adopted for the development of a three dimensional (3-D) model of the Troy University Campus, located in Troy, Alabama, USA. Further processing of the CAD datasets into a format usable for the generation of a 3-D model of the campus is presented. The processing included further enhancements such as adding an orthophoto and the draping of other physical features, such as extruded building, to make the model as realistic as possible. Updates to the CAD file were done by making use of field survey, which included adding the new changes to the University campus. Problems and the solutions of the entire approach are critically reviewed.
