Early massing variants with solar shadow studies and footprint footprint efficiency overlays
Read more →A professional platform for teams to visualize, compare, and annotate 4D urban development scenarios across regulatory, technical, and stakeholder timelines.

Drag the timeline to witness how a mixed-use corridor transforms from vacant lot to state — with real-time toggles for building massing, daylight access, and infrastructure deployment sequencing. Every scroll-driven frame reflects documented zoning changes, constructability constraints, and environmental impact windows.

As-built verification against LiDAR point clouds and annual maintenance schedules
Read more →Pre-built templates aligned with ISO 37120, LEED v4.1, and regional building codes accelerate submittal readiness. Import BIM models from Revit or Grasshopper; exportIFC,CityJSON, or SDF files with embedded metadata chains — including change logs, stakeholder annotations, and sustainability performance baselines.

Full change tracking: who altered a timeline, when, and which environmental metric shifted
Multi-user editing in isolated sandbox layers — planners sketch rezoning boundaries in Layer A while engineers model stormwater retrofits in Layer B. All annotations link to specific timestamps, model versions, and GIS coordinate pins — never lost in email threads or Slack snippets.

See how transit agencies model light-rail extension impacts from right-of-way acquisition through 30-year operations, or how redevelopment teams simulate adaptive reuse of industrial blocks across seismic retrofit milestones. Each workflow preserves as-built records and stakeholder feedback loops.
See all of Discipline-Specific Workflows →Programmatically inject simulation data, synchronize with GIS databases, or generate custom regulatory report snapshots. Webhook examples cover Revit family updates, Grasshopper parametric triggers, and automated IFC checksums for model version control.
