Explore VU.CITY's digital 3D toolkit for the built environment

VU.CITY’s toolbox is renowned in the built environment community.

Learn how to remove trees, hide terrain, slice blocks of modelling, create a group of hidden buildings, export your plotted area, style up your visualisation, and so much more. VU.CITY’s tools allow you to create sites correctly and make impactful projects that wow stakeholders.

 

Data-Driven Insights for Precision and Clarity.

Leverage relevant planning data layers from both public and private sector sources for each city. Instantly identify if your site is near listed buildings or within a conservation area, and assess key factors like pollution and public accessibility to evaluate the feasibility and impact of your project.

 

Switch between 2D & 3D.

Seamlessly switch between realistic 3D model perspectives and precise, distortion-free 2D orthographic views for enhanced visual clarity and detail.

 

Powerful urban development tools to drive informed, impactful decisions.

Navigate every design phase with our development feature software, including the renowned contested timeline. Present a project’s past, present, and future in an engaging and digestible way to enhance project management and stakeholder collaboration.

 

View buildings and sites from any angle you desire.

Choose multiple angles and camera settings, showcase detailed viewshed analysis, dynamic feasibility studies, and immersive visuals that captivate stakeholders—perfect for bids, design meetings, and presentations. Give your team the competitive edge.

 

Analyse the impact of atmospherics, sunlight and weather.

Understand the impact of light and weather at an early stage - for any time, any day of the year - in seconds. See how a building might encroach on daylight, where to position windows and balconies, and more.
