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
FORUM8's VR-Design Studio software is utilized by numerous research institutions, city planners, transportation agencies, and automotive manufacturers across the globe to develop highly immersive and lifelike representations of built environments. This interactive 3D VR simulation and modeling application allows users to manipulate three-dimensional spaces dynamically, conduct an unlimited number of driving simulation experiments, import and modify CAD files, construct and texture models, and automatically generate roads, tunnels, and bridges, facilitating the creation of various design options in real-time, whether online or offline. The finished models empower users to visualize and engage with the virtual environments they have built, which aids in assessing the potential environmental consequences of proposed projects, including their effects on pedestrian and vehicle traffic patterns. This collaborative approach enhances stakeholder engagement throughout the planning process, ensuring that diverse perspectives are considered. Ultimately, VR-Design Studio serves as a vital tool for fostering innovation and improving decision-making in urban development projects.
