Save time

• Split and Merge 3D polygons is more then 10 time faster and with a single step. This feature is only available in OpenCities Map Enterprise.

 Accelerate workflow

• 3DBuffer – Create automatically CityGML LOD 1 from legacy 2D building footprints. It increases the value of the legacy 2D data by creating a 3D layer from it that shares the same semantic information. This feature is only available in OpenCities Map Enterprise.
• Auto-Promote – DGN elements placed on reserved levels can be promoted to XFM features automatically with AutoPromote. Ready to be written to Spatial databases. Having a spatial database is a point of integration with OpenCities Planner.
• With the Export to DGN, it is easier to share GIS assets with BIM applications and is a point of interoperability with other Bentley products.
• A solid or smart solid can now be promoted to a 3D polygon collection.

New Features

• 3D models can be exported to LumenRT software for visualizing your design in real time. The LumenRT tool is located in the Visualization workflow. If LumenRT is not installed on your machine, an alert window displays asking if you want to install it. This feature is only available with OpenCities Map Enterprise. For additional information, see the LumenRT
