User Interface / User Experience Development

5D Smart City

This comprehensive aggregation of datasets provides extensive contextual information for almost any building project for over 100 cities in 12 countries. 5D Smart City layers include:

- Curated Open Data & Services
- 3D Buildings & Other Infrastructure Layers
- Satellite Imagery
- Road Networks & Traffic
- Weather/span>
- Premium IoT Services

We curate and normalize data layers to ensure that they are compatible with industry data model standards and complete. Datasets are updated at regular intervals so users always have access to the latest information.

INSTABIM

Leveraging InstaBIM, users no longer need to acquire complicated and expensive software tools to convert BIM models into shareable web models that can be used by anyone.

Users are now able to stand up a whole city of BIM models in a matter of minutes entirely on their own, along with their underlying databases inside these models.

These databases then can be transformed and linked to any other layers in 5D Smart World. InstaBIM supports drag and drop for:

- COLLADA
- FBX
- OBJ
- CityGML
- gITF
- SketchUp
- IFC (Coming Soon)

ASQ

Ask simple questions about your project and AsQ will search your project layers, your personal layers, 5D Smart City layers, BIM models, and databases, and help you find exactly what you are looking for in an instant. You can find anything from a street intersection to a single sensor feed from an IoT device inside a BIM model– if you just AsQ!

Cityzenith’s platform engine is based on indexing every bit of data and delivering that data in a highly-organized response, enabling AsQ to answer factual queries directly by computing answers from these indexed data using Mapalyze analytics functions.

WARP

Warp can spatially enable non-spatial datasets, by simply joining them either to existing 5D Smart City layers or files that users upload themselves. Supported common file formats:

- Shapefiles
- GeoJSON
- DWG
- KML
- JSON
- DXF
- CSV
- XML

Warp allows users to import not only static files, but it allows users to connect to any dynamic API that supports JSON or XML. Users import and transform ArcGISTM Online datasets directly in 5D Smart World, or connect to an Oracle Spatial database and add information to BIM models, all in one place.

Connecting to an API is as simple as pasting API endpoint URLs straight into our import tool, and then Warp takes care of the rest. Even secure datasets behind OAuth or similar security protocols can be imported into Warp. Datasets can also be indexed for quick retrieval with AsQ, our search tool.

MAPALYZE

Standard industry analysis tools allow users to assess solar potential, LEED ND compliance (coming soon), line of sight analysis, shadow studies, and economic development potential. Predictive analysis functions can be customized to address specific firm or project needs. Mapalyze will soon release a scriptable API that gives users the ability to author their own analytical queries and tools, and share them with other 5D Smart World users in their organizations.

CHARRETTE

Start conversations with teammates about buildings, layers, etc., or any object that can be visualized inside 5D Smart World, and then share these conversations with anyone in the organization.

Everything is private in 5D Smart World unless users explicitly share it with co-workers or others, affording the ability to work securely on any project safe; in the knowledge that only you and those you choose to share it with have access to your data.

Invite clients and partners to a Charrette channel and share work without having to create additional licenses. Find an interesting Asq query or Mapalyze result? Share it with anyone in a couple clicks and start analyzing the results in real-time.

Quickly change the parameters for these queries and see the updated results immediately. Charrette quickly notifies users with updates in real-time, so whether separated by walls, floors, or geographies, design team members now have one conversation, on one platform.
