A 3D building model shows an object, an infrastructure or a structure in its true dimensions. Generally in three dimensions, it effectively represents a structure or simulates changes to be made on the latter (for example to simulate the impact of an urban planning project).
With extensive experience in all areas of topography and 3D modeling, our chartered surveying company is also specialized in the production of interactive 3D models for city planning and architecture using data from our geometric and photographic acquisitions.
Depending on the type of 3D building model and resolution required, the most appropriate capture techniques are implemented:
Sintégra delivers 3D city modeling services and handles all phases of producing your model for both technical or communication purposes.
We are equipped to oversee the entire production process from aerial or terrestrial acquisition to final product delivery.
Our team includes graphic artists specialized in the creation and enrichment of digital models.
Thanks to Skyline technology, we can produce geospatial models of your territory without right of way, accuracy or density limitations. They can represent a building, a site, a neighborhood, a city or a metropolitan area. This comprehensive solution allows navigation, data enrichment and can be used for communication purposes (creation of high definition posters and videos).
We also use other solutions such as RhinoCity, 3DSMax or Maya.
With our advanced capture tools, we deliver very high levels of accuracy and density with an LOD (Level of Detail) from 1 to 4 for urban models and an LOD from 100 to 400 for BIM type models.
There is a constant demand for an integrated tool for urban or land use planning projects run by different stakeholders including elected representatives, technical departments, engineering firms, builders and utility operators.
The interactive 3D city model is a technical tool with which the planner can efficiently communicate relative to project impacts (integrating an urban planning project into a site or a neighborhood).
The need to represent complex large objects may also require digital modeling (structural works, heritage buildings, mechanical parts or infrastructure, etc.).
3D building modeling has different uses:
We handle the entire processing chain from acquisition of topographical and photographic data to their use.
This may involve the following components:
To produce the model, depending on the size of the surface to be modelled and the resolution required, different tools and software are used:
Commonly requested standard formats can be produced: IFC / CityGML…
