3D in map.apps

Today, the use of 3D geodata offers extensive potential in almost every area of geoIT application. Whether urban and landscape planning, tourism and city marketing, energy plant planning, civil engineering or environmental planning and simulation.

With map.apps you have a full-value and high-performance 3D client based on the ArcGIS API for JavaScript. Not as a separate 3D solution, but as an integrated component of the efficient map.apps app and WebGIS platform.

map.apps offers the maximum number of options for integrating your data for 3D use. Ready-to-use and complex 3D web scenes from ArcGIS can be integrated just as easily as OGC 3D streaming services (I3S) or 3D SceneLayer packages. 

With map.apps ETL, data flexibility is limitless, as almost any format can be integrated. And this is not only configurable by the administrator, but also interactively by the end user directly in the app. Adjustments to existing 3D objects or the creation of new ones is also a flick of a switch thanks to the corresponding functions for 3D editing.

In many cases, the pure 3D visualisation of the relevant spatial detail already offers decisive added value. The realistic spatial experience that can be achieved, often enhanced by high-resolution textures, enables even non-professionals, for example, to evaluate the quality of urban planning scenarios.

But even two-dimensional data can be represented three-dimensionally in map.apps almost real-time through client-side rendering. Differences in the data can be compared by the user in their absolute dimension better and more intuitively than by any colour scale.

The use of three-dimensional geodata in map.apps enables you to go beyond the simple visualisation and also to obtain completely new information that can be derived very easily via various forms of 3D analyses. These insights into sometimes complex interrelationships arise from the analytical combination of three-dimensional data such as subsoil, terrain, buildings, vegetation or even lighting.
