Abstract

A Data Model for Representing Cities in Three Dimensions
Track: Architecture, Engineering, and Construction
Author(s): Paul Cote

This talk will describe an ArcGIS Geodatabase model and model-builder toolkit for organizing and visualizing three-dimensional city models. This simple relational database schema provides means of organizing 3d model assets and retrieving logically consistent visualizations of the city at different time periods, proposed development scenarios, and at appropriate levels of detail. The presentation will discuss the extension of this model with reference to the emerging Building Information Spatial Data Model BIM Standards and CityGML.
