Agenda●From 2D to 3D: The Case

for CityGML ●NYC DOITT Planimetric

Update: QC for 3D with FME

From Planimetric Data

To 3D Models

To CityGMLCityGML is an open data model and XML-based format for the storage and exchange of virtual 3D city models. It is an application schema for the Geography Markup Language version 3.1.1 (GML3), the extendible international standard for spatial data exchange issued by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and the ISO TC211. The aim of the development of CityGML is to reach a common definition of the basic entities, attributes, and relations of a 3D city model. This is especially important with respect to the cost-effective sustainable maintenance of 3D city models, allowing the reuse of the same data in different application fields.

SurfaceOrientation

Test

Is this surface pointing into the building?

Is this floor pointing up?

Is this roof pointing down?

3D Orientation Example

Component Test

Does each building have roof, wall, and ground surface?

Component Example

Solid ObjectTest

Are all the features associated with a building ID part of a solid 3d feature?

Conflation & Position

Test

Do the 3D buildings’ ground surface match the location of the planimetric footprints?

Have IDs from planimetric data been properly conflated to the 3D buildings?

Positional Alignment vs Elevation

Intentional vertical offset to show alignment
