See Entire Cities at Scale, Not Just a City Center
Need more context than just the central portion of a city? Want to better understand what an entire city looks like at scale in 3D, not just its highest skyscrapers? 3D Cities cover large scale areas that go beyond the busiest business districts. View pre-built models covering hundreds to thousands of square kilometers for a comprehensive understanding of urban areas. In addition, they are more geometrically accurate and detailed compared to other 3D products on the market.
Integrate Data Where You Want and Need It Most
Another key benefit of 3D Cities: use it and integrate it where you’re ready to create and build. Vexcel 3D data comes packaged in the 3D Tiles OGC Community Standard created by Cesium, a flexible, open-source popular tile format that allows you to adapt, integrate, and interact with the data across almost any platform you work with. Vexcel 3D data is also optimized for high performance for streaming and consuming detailed and intricate data and lends itself to customized 3D visualizations.

FAQs for Vexcel 3D Cities
Q: What is a 3D city model?
A Vexcel 3D city model is a realistic digital representation of the built environment created from high-resolution aerial imagery, elevation data, and oriented imagery. Vexcel 3D city models provide detailed views of buildings, roads, terrain, and surrounding infrastructure to help organizations better visualize, analyze, and simulate real-world environments.
Q: What is the difference between a 3D city model and a digital twin?
A Vexcel 3D city model is a type of digital twin that represents the physical world in three dimensions. Digital twins can also include additional live, operational, or sensor-based data to monitor conditions, simulate scenarios, and support ongoing decision-making. Vexcel 3D city models provide the visual and spatial foundation for many digital twin workflows.
Q: How many cities does Vexcel have 3D city models for?
Vexcel offers pre-built 3D city models for approximately 60 cities across the globe. Vexcel also has the raw ingredients to create 3D city models for more than 15,000 cities using discrete aerial imagery, including nadir and oblique imagery, along with elevation data and other metadata collected through the Vexcel aerial imagery program.
Q: How are 3D city models used across industries?
Vexcel 3D city models help organizations better visualize and analyze the physical world in three dimensions. Urban planning and government teams use 3D city models for zoning, infrastructure planning, emergency response, and city simulations. AEC teams use Vexcel 3D models for project planning, site monitoring, design review, and construction visualization. Mobility and mapping teams use 3D city models for HD mapping, transportation planning, simulation environments, and digital twin workflows. AI teams also use Vexcel 3D city models to train models and better understand complex urban environments.
