3D building blocks
Adding Dimension to your World
Cities Revealed 3D Building Blocks is a unique database that provides outlines of building blocks with height information for all major towns and cities throughout the United Kingdom. Three height values are recorded and supplied for each building block in a database format.
The building blocks provide a quick way to create a 3D setting for a more complex building or site, which can be designed to a greater level of detail within the 3D landscape.
