Vic3D

The Layers tab provides flexibility to structure a range of 2D and 3D spatial and non-spatial data.

Layers give you easy access to information to support assessment and visualisation.

Dynamically display shadowing for a date and time, or across a time span.

Take 3D measurements within the interface. Distance and area tools provide a simple way to take accurate measurements.

Line of sight allows you to perform visibility analysis. Visibility between an observer and multiple target points is calculated against currently displayed content in the view including:

• the ground
• integrated meshes
• 3D objects like buildings or trees.

Viewshed allows you to define a point and generate a 360 degree viewshed for that location. Visible areas are marked in green and obscured targets are displayed as red.

View ray is a dynamic version of Viewshed, you can move the focus around the interface to determine what’s visible. Visible areas are marked in green and obscured targets are displayed as red.

The sketch tool is a powerful feature to support visualising proposed buildings when the building model isn’t available.

You can sketch a building and define building segments with floors, floor heights and setback configurations. The buildings then form part of analysis in the interface, for example:

• shadow visualisation
• view analysis
• height and area metrics

Buildings created using Sketch can be exported and shared with other Vic3D users.

Creating buildings in Vic3D is made easy with sketch:

1. Define the base building footprint by selecting a property/group of properties or draw an outline of the footprint.
   
2. Configure number of segments with individual floor height, and floor count definitions with setbacks.
   

Define specific view points within a scene to form part of fly view presentations through the interface. View points can also be converted to PDF or imported/exported.

Presentation mode allows you to present from within Vic3D, without the need to switch between PowerPoint and a web browser.

Presentation mode has similar features to PowerPoint, for example:

• embed PDFs, images and text
• setup defined viewpoint scenarios prior to a presentation
• use embedded controls when ready to present.

Shadow accumulation

Display the amount of shadow that a building casts over time.

Elevation profile

Generate elevational profile of streetscape.

Building elevation

Visualise (by colour) buildings according to height range.

Print

Create an image of the current display, that can be inserted into documents, emails and presentations.
