3D MODELS FOR CITY PLANNING Creating a better urban landscape
The Power of Aerometrex Aerometrex has over 40 years of experience in the geospatial technology industry. With global expertise in 3D modeling, the business has been recognized for its work across multiple continents.
3D REALITY MODELS: THE SMARTEST TOOL IN THE URBAN PLANNER’S TOOLBOX Bringing your projects into 3D means no longer relying on static and unengaging 2D site plans or architectural renders that only give a single perspective on a complex and nuanced spatial change. Aerometrex high resolution 3D models are realistic, accurate, and highly detailed. No other tool gives you a better base dataset to build from. WHY AEROMETREX 3D? At Aerometrex we pride ourselves on delivering on client needs, so you can choose your deliverables and formats, and we’ll work with you to make it happen. Access an end-to-end service from image acquisition to data delivery. Plan real-world projects with real-world data. View every angle, measure everything, and test every outcome. Create engaging experiences for showcasing projects. Start with the best data to get the best outcomes. Get value-add products like data-enriched classified 3D models. USE THE ULTIMATE SHOWCASE FOR CONSULTATION 3D models help urban planners engage with stakeholders for early buy-in and project support. Build the ultimate showcase with immersive experiences that connect people with the spaces you’re planning to change. Import CAD, BIM, and other assets and place them with high geo-accuracy. Platforms such as Cesium for Unreal, Twinmotion and Unity, are helping take 3D visualization to the next level. With these platforms, you can: - Add features such as water, trees, lighting, etc. - Add objects such as cars, bikes, pedestrians, and street furniture
Our 3D data gives you access to highresolution 3D models that provide context to your projects, help develop and visualize scenarios as well as offer a comprehensive 3D base dataset for change monitoring. The global Aerometrex team has expanded to 100+ with industry experts in aerial capture, flight planning, photogrammetry, 3D modeling, LiDAR processing, customer support and R&D.

INCREASE OUTCOME PREDICTABILITY The dynamic nature of 3D reality models offers planners, stakeholders, and decision makers smarter tools, resulting in increased predictability of outcomes before designs are approved and built. Starting early with 3D data lets you be proactive, improving this predictability and testing every scenario for how space will change. Now you can know what a proposed development would look like from different angles, and the potential impacts from those vantage points. The use of “what-if” scenarios can quickly and easily be developed and then shared with the community. You can also show the difference between build-to lines and setbacks, or different building heights and how they look from different viewing angles. SIMPLIFY ANALYSIS & MEASUREMENT 3D models are the contextual backbone and platform for spatial analysis tools, such as Esri’s ArcGIS and Skyline’s Terra Explorer. When these two are used together, the result is an analytical tool that is immersive, realistic, accurate and highly detailed. These platforms provide planners, a range of 3D tools - for example, the line-of-sight tool (if you want to see if a proposed building shall block certain views) and sun angle measurement tool (to see the shadows at different times of the day, and different days of the year), in addition to basic measurement tools. COLLABORATE AND MANAGE SHARED ASSETS Your 3D model is the definitive hosting platform for urban data for the long term. Enrich your 3D model with database information to better manage your assets and prepare for the smart cities of the future. 3D models are not only beneficial for planners, but also serve as useful tools for other departments and cross jurisdictional planning efforts. Urban planners can better collaborate with these internal and external partners for city management. The move from 2D to 3D has been instrumental in the transition towards smart cities. Cities in the US and across the world are using 3D models as the foundation for digital twins, to meet challenges, rethink business mindset and reimagine a community based on technological advances.
