CityGML

CityGML — importing CityGML files (3D city and landscape models)

CityGML is an open, vendor-neutral information model for describing the 3D geometry, topology, semantics and appearance of urban and landscape objects — terrain, buildings, water and traffic surfaces, vegetation and land use. The add-on imports such data directly into ALLPLAN.
