RhinoCity for Rhino 8

AUTOMATIC 3D MODELING

RhinoCity™ produces exact 3D models using a unique and innovative boolean extrusion engine.

By combining geometry (3D polygons) and semantic information, the RhinoCity™ 3D modeler automatically produces a 3D model whose accurancy is the guarantee of :

• Exact walls, roofs and footprints surfaces
• A 3D model composed of watertight volumes
• Optimized 3D data good for 3D analysis and studies : solar, wave propagation, noise, wind...

PRODUCE, EDIT, ANALYZE, TEXTURE

RhinoCity™ allows you to:

• Import any file in CityGML format, an official international standard of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC).
  In particular, it can import and render textured 3D models.
  
• Create a 3D model at LOD2 or LOD3 Level Of Detail using an unique and innovating automatic 3D modeler.
• Texture your 3D model automatically using vertical and/or oblique aerial images.
• Export your textured 3D model in CityGML format.
• Gain free access to more and more urban models in CityGML format.

ANALYSIS AND EDITING OF 3D GEOMETRIES

The quality of 3D data useful for modeling is a decisive factor in the accuracy
of the 3D models that will be produced.
To guarantee this quality and ensure that the 3D models that will result, RhinoCity™ includes all the tools needed to control and edit your 3D data.

3D TILES

3D Tiles is an open specification designed for streaming heterogenous 3D geospatial content.
Submitted to the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) by a team led by Cesium, the OGC has approved the 3D Tiles Specification 1.0 for adoption as Community Standard.
RhinoCity™ allows the 3D Tiles export of your 3D textured data!
