UVM Systems provides 'end-to-end' consultancy services for 3D city modelling; providing clients with support and solutions from data capture through to customisation, simulation, data management, maintenance and training. UVM Systems also produce CityGRID, the data management tool for 3D urban models. The CityGRID suite of software tools has for a number of years been used throughout mainland Europe for the efficient management of extremely large 3D, multi-scale models. The radical data structure enables the transformation of standard 'off-the-shelf' models from being simple 'snap-shots in time' into fully maintained representations of urban areas or large engineering projects. The use of a Relational Data Base Management System gives the user all the functionality of a database but applied to 3D data. This significantly reduces the costs associated with the continuous updating of models which is a necessary part of any design or planning process. It also allows the user to store a model at varying levels of detail. A city can be refined from Level of Detail 1 (LOD1: a simple block model) to fully textured building models (LOD3) as required. CityGRID is optimised to work with a huge range of data formats. Models can be generated from raw survey data, point-clouds or just "off-the-shelf" models.
