OpenCities Map Advanced

Expands CAD Environment Capabilities

With feature-based modeling and spatial databases connection.

Accelerate Your Mapping Workflow and Bring Together Digital Infrastructure Assets and Context Data

Define a Feature Data Model with Business Properties

OpenCities Map Advanced includes a rich set of capabilities that substantially increase productivity by enabling feature-based modeling workflows through its schema file. The desktop software allows you to define a set of features to be captured along with their related properties, symbology, annotation, and behaviors.

Connect to the Most Common Spatial Database

Edit, maintain, and manage your 3D city model data including unstructured and structured data such as geospatial, architectural, and engineering designs, point clouds, and reality meshes. Seamlessly integrate with the most common spatial databases.

Customizable Feature-oriented Placement Methods

OpenCities Map Advanced offers placement methods that convert CAD element creation tools into feature-based element creation tools. CAD users can continue to use familiar MicroStation capabilities to create feature-based map elements without learning a new workflow. You can also create in-house placement methods for more specific needs.

Connection to the Most Common Spatial Databases

OpenCities Map Advanced seamlessly and intuitively integrates with the most common spatial databases including Oracle Spatial, SQL Server Spatial, PostgreSQL (PostGIS), and Esri (FGBD, ArcGIS Server and Online). Establishing a single source of truth for your entire 2D and 3D dataset provides guaranteed up-to-date data for everyone who needs access.

CAD-to-GIS Features

Organizations often attempt to map their assets using traditional CAD drawings that lack context-specific placement methods and the ability to add semantic information to assets. OpenCities Map Advanced not only fills these gaps, but also helps automate the conversion of CAD drawings to geospatial features making them ready to be uploaded to spatial DB.
