Why 3D?
2D so far provides: Urban Planning
Mapping and relating Land Zoning & Management
information such as land use,
buildings, income and Policy Making
population
Traffic Navigation

1. Receive Large Scale NTF Data from OSNI
2. Locate Required Tiles using ‘Remedy’
• Overlay Remedy Tiles on e.g. 1:50K Raster Images

Rough Roof-Foot Print 3D model
The Way Forward
Although in its conceptual view this ‘roof-foot print’ model is an adequate
representation for site level urban modelling projects.
For more detailed (site-specific) studies:
1. ArcGlobe (DTM) combined: (Sketch UP ArcMap and/or ArcGlobe)
2. Texturizing ‘mapping images’ (Sketch UP)
3. Texturizing ‘mapping images’

16. Architectural Friendly Process
Rough Roof-Foot Print 3D model
The Way Forward
1. Combine the roof-foot print model with a DTM generated terrain
model
View the combination in ArcGlobe
