Abstract

A new generation 3D modeling system is described for the management of the 3D characteristics of man-made structures in a shared geographic information system (GIS) platform. The system accommodates the conversion of 2D GIS topology to 3D real-world topology, originate and perpetually maintain 3D models and non-graphical attribute data through time managed by a community of users based on a series of permissions and user roles. The system integrates 3D model data with attribute data and may be supplemented with published map or attribute data and/or data made available by users of the system.
