The movie below provides an overview:
The 3D module is tied directly a web GIS linked to real world coordinates, clicking on any object brings back the related meta data and presents it through the interface. The system also access inside buildings and indeed underground.
The engine is designed to accept most common types of 3D models, C4D, Sketchup, 3DSMax, Revit and many others. This allows users, such as Architects, to login via the web, given they have the appropriate rights, give a UTM or position off a monument and scale, and upload their models.
The models are then 'dropped' into the 3D world and the whole system is updated. Many of the other attributes in the model, such as the trees, are placed directly from GIS data, for example if trees are moved in the GIS the 3D model changes as well.
Use Case's include:
· Competing Architects do not see each other's work, due to the inherent security system, but the Planners can see everything. Planners can toggle off and on buildings and complete density studies and forward thinking community plans.
· Planners can use the model in community meeting and stakeholder presentations. It's interactive with controls that are similar to a gaming engine, they are very easy and configurable.
· Engineers, Planners and Architects work together with spatially accurate data to plan future developments. Engineers, for example, can go underground to examine the subterranean infrastructure prior to the plans being placed.
In short, we like the sound of the system, we have not used it ourselves yet but if we manage to get hold of a copy we will post a review.

Looks very interesting. As it is my job to maintain the virtual city of Apeldoorn (the Netherlands) i am very curious to see it up and running? Is there a live version available anywhere on the web?
ReplyDeleteYoutube videos are always easy, i have lots of them, check out:

The real challenge of course is a real online version. Check out our current at http://www.virtueelapeldoorn.nl.
Hi Rick,
ReplyDeleteYour video's are very interesting and it looks like great software that you've developed. I also agree that video's are easy - this module is much better in person.
We do have a public demo site up for the 2D (GIS) driven application (www.assettrackinganywhere.com).
Because our 3D module is tied to the GIS data we are working filling in the demo ste and decoupling the module for people who have requested an evaluation copy.
We will send you a note as soon as it's complete and ready for download.
In the mean time, we are always available for web demonstrations. Let us know a good time/day for you - info@cloverpoint.com
Best regards,
Karl
