Description

In contrast to other CAD and GIS applications, this software was specifically designed with urban planners in mind from its inception, facilitating the creation of 3D models that utilize established building styles and urban forms. CityCAD provides a streamlined and efficient method for drafting urban masterplans in three dimensions. When routes intersect, junctions are formed with straightforward kerb radii automatically. Moreover, if you adjust the positioning of roads, the surrounding urban blocks are resized automatically. This software also includes an array of advanced analytical tools, offering valuable quantitative insights into your masterplan during the initial conceptual design phases. Users can build a personalized library of land use categories and assign these to different building floors. Additionally, you can input estimates for energy consumption, water usage, and waste generation rates (calculated per person, dwelling unit, or area unit), with total figures being computed in real-time as you develop and refine your design. This capability allows for a more responsive and informed planning process, enabling users to make adjustments based on immediate feedback.

Description

CityEngine is a cutting-edge 3D modeling application that enables the rapid creation of expansive, interactive urban landscapes more efficiently than conventional modeling methods. The cities you design with CityEngine can reflect actual geographical information system (GIS) data or represent an imaginative urban setting from any time period. Instead of constructing each building separately, you can generate a large-scale city model in one go. CityEngine facilitates quick modifications to architectural styles or various aspects of your city, allowing you to explore numerous design options effortlessly. Additionally, you can produce 3D models to illustrate proposed modifications and alternative designs effectively. Your designs can be guided by 3D models that reflect land use regulations and other relevant conditions. You can easily present various design options to your team or stakeholders, soliciting valuable feedback. CityEngine seamlessly fits into your existing workflow, enabling you to incorporate key buildings or other assets to create a comprehensive 3D environment around them. You can also export your work back into high-end visualization tools or game engines for further refinement and presentation. This powerful software not only enhances creativity but also streamlines collaboration among project participants.
