In the archaeological data we used it is often unclear how one building can be defined: on the one hand a building may consist just of one room, on the other hand, large villa structures may span a whole street block.
With the goal to increase the coverage of building footprint data available as open data for OpenStreetMap and humanitarian efforts, we have released millions of building footprints as open data available to download free of charge. 3D model of the A4 Dorm from A second method to transform 2D data that we created in 3D is to import the data in Esri CityEngine. Then, apply a polygonization algorithm to detect building edges and angles to create a proper building footprint. Note that the areas which are not excavated yet are also provided. Sketchup using the building footprint or the buildings’ plan together with pictures of them that can be used as textures. Also, import street and building footprint data from OpenStreetMap. the subdivision into building lots has been generated procedurally. Create interactive and immersive urban environments with Esri CityEngine advanced 3D. For the rest of the model only the street blocks are based on real surviving/excavation data i.e. The footprints of section 6 are based on archaeological input data.
