SiteBuilder 3D for ArcGIS
SiteBuilder 3D enables users to create photo-realistic, 3D interactive scenes from 2D map data. With just a few mouse clicks, 2D maps from Scenario 360 can be turned into realistic 3D scenes that provide insight to support decision making by helping users to see the spatial relationships and visual impacts of multiple alternatives. The CommunityViz version of SiteBuilder 3D comes with an exclusive library of over 350 models of houses, buildings, trees, and streetscapes to help you populate your 3D scenes.
Features and benefits:
Simple to use because it doesn’t require specific 3D modeling knowledge. Data conversion from 2D to 3D is designed to look and feel like the process used to assign map symbols in ArcView GIS.
Quickly create three-dimensional terrain models from common elevation data sources including Digital Elevation Models, USGS data, DTED and contour data.
User-friendly menus, icons and commands that make it simple to select appropriate colors, textures and 3D models. Choose visuals from the extensive library of photo-realistic textures and real-time 3D models included in the application.
SiteBuilder’s real-time 3D viewer has five motion models to fly, drive or walk through 3D scenes while tracking your position on a 2D map.
3D scenes can be shared with others, even if they don't have SiteBuilder 3D. Create prerecorded AVI movie files save files using the 3D viewer to let others fly through on their own.
Change the look and feel of a scene by adding environmental effects such as time of day, clouds or fog.
Whatever your ArcView GIS application, SiteBuilder 3D gives you visualization tools that help you gain a better understanding of your 2D data. When you can actually “see” reality, you gain the ability to visualize spatial relationships as they really are, in the real world, and in real-time 3D. That means you can make better decisions about your projects.
Highly realistic graphics and textures.
Real-time 3D scenes created in SiteBuilder 3D can be exported to other programs that support the OpenFlightTM file format, the industry standard real-time 3D file format.
Extensive help documentation is included in the application.
With the optional ModelBuilder 3D add-on application, you can create an unlimited variety of 3D objects to add realistic details to your 3D scenes.

MapInfo Tracks Cupid This Valentine’s Day
North Carolina is Ready with a Bouquet and California Shows up with Chocolates; MapInfo Uncovers Where Singles Live with PSYTE U.S. Advantage
TROY, NY—February 12, 2004—Valentine’s Day is a day for lovers and MapInfo (NASDAQ: MAPS) today released statistics using its PSYTE® U.S. Advantage Neighborhood cluster solution, identifying the U.S. locations that might be the most swept up by romance. MapInfo demographers uncovered this information integrating PSYTE with data from Mediamark Research Inc. (MRI), the leading provider of syndicated, single-source marketing and media research in the United States.
The marital status and consumer behavior of specific demographic markets are just some of the insights that PSYTE offers to companies wanting to better understand the lifestyle and habits of their customers. Here’s how some U.S. metros ranked in the romance department:
Love Blooms in Indiana—Romance should be in the air in Bloomington, Ind. this season, with MapInfo identifying this college city as the metro with the highest percentage of single men and women never married. It is no surprise that college towns offer the most number of singles; other metros leading the list including Lawrence, Kansas; State College, Penn.; Iowa City, Iowa; and Athens, Georgia.
Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places—If you are a woman seeking a beau, you may want to steer clear of several metros in Florida such as Punta Gorda, Naples, Ocala, Fort Myers and Sarasota. These cities have some of the highest percentage of men already hitched. For men seeking women, Jacksonville, North Carolina is not the best dating grounds. Not only does this metro have the highest percentage of married women, but its sounds like they are getting special treatment too—Jacksonville is also the top metro for potential expenditures over $100 at flower shops in the last six months.
Object of My Confection—Chocolates are a simple way to say “I love you” or at least, “I know what you love” and what better place to say it than Honolulu! According to MapInfo, this island paradise leads as the metro with the highest potential to have bought boxed chocolates in the last six months. California is the state with the biggest sweet tooth—four of its metros, San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland and Orange County, made the top ten. New Jersey comes in a close second with three of its metros, Bergen-Passaic, Jersey City and Newark with high market potential for chocolates.
Wait a Minute, Mr. Postman—When it comes to sending love, greeting cards can be an easy way to share loving words. People across the Northeast seem to prefer the written word to the rest of the country. Metros such as Danbury, Connecticut; Monmouth-Ocean New Jersey; Nashua, New Hampshire and Pittsfield, Massachusetts come out on top of the list. Texas won’t be mailing too many valentines. El Paso, Mcallen-Edinburg-Mission, Brownsville-Harlingen-San Benito and Laredo were last in MapInfo’s search.
“Finding where the most married and single people live not only offers interesting statistics into the lifestyles of the nation’s population but also provides valuable insights into consumer behavioral attributes and habits that retail companies can use to fine tune their marketing,” said Chris Michels, PSYTE product manager for MapInfo. “Through this Valentine’s Day market analysis, we have revealed areas with the highest potential for buying occasion-related gifts, such as flowers, candy and gift cards. Retailers can utilize this type of predictive analytical insight to better tailor marketing efforts and gain deeper understanding of their target markets and customers.”
