CityGRID 2009 Released

System enhancements enable users to find information faster and easier than ever before, with improvements to CityGRID Manager, Administrator, Reader/Writer and Modeler.

In this latest release several new features will help with day to day use and management of 3D data, furthering CityGRID as the premier software for intelligent 3D data management.

Latest features include:
•    Improved model surfacing – already a key feature, however now further algorithms have been introduced to reduce common digitizing errors.
•    Extended data schema’s for Terrains and Buildings – providing clients with the ability to manage multiple versions for terrain models.  Vertical roof faces now have their own element class, and model faces can now be extended beyond ground level.
•    Improved database connectivity of Reader/Writer – CityGRID 2009 supports FME 2009 in full.  The reader/writer element now also communicates directly with the manager database allowing for fast retrieval and export of models, ultimately providing users with more control of the export process.

“This is an exciting announcement for us,” says Managing Director, Stephen Rixon ”as CityGRID 2009 is the first release for Met GeoInfo, and contains a significant number of enhancements. It is however simply the first step in our development program for CityGRID, with new functionality following this in the very near future. Met GeoInfo is committed to keeping CityGRID at the forefront of 3D data management technology”.
