"With CityEngine 2017, smart city scenes can be created in minutes and shared via the web or Esri's ArcGIS 360 VR app in a single click." "Smart cities of the future will be designed more transparently, and the design process will engage citizens," said Dominik Tarolli, head of 3D geodesign business at Esri. This feature saves time that urban planners and architects would otherwise spend generating details themselves.
This means that planners can automatically create unique design features on buildings without manually rendering them. The new CityEngine also introduces procedurally generated 3D city content.
Last but not least, we completely revamped the graphical user interface, resulting in the fresh, modern look of CityEngine and a much improved ease of use." Further, we implemented many long-awaited user requests such as measurement tools and computer generated architecture (CGA) neighborhood queries. "We are proud to introduce a groundbreaking newtool concept for the scenario-based planning in a 3D application. "With this release of CityEngine, we focused on the needs of urban planners, designers, and architects," said Pascal Mueller, director of Esri R&D Center Zurich AG, where CityEngine is developed. Before this, planners would have to create two entirely different projects to understand the consequences of a proposed building's design variations.
CITYENGINE ARCHITECTURE DETAILS WINDOWS
With the updates available in the new version of CityEngine, users can make changes to specific features-such as adjusting the size of windows or adding a balcony-in a model without affecting the entire structure.
CITYENGINE ARCHITECTURE DETAILS SOFTWARE
This latest version of Esri's 3D modeling software offers new features that let planners and architects compare different scenarios and visualize them with dashboards to view how each would affect the same geographic area-all in real time.
July 5, 2017- Esri, the global leader in spatial analytics, today announced the release of Esri CityEngine 2017.
