![]() ![]() ![]() It uses variables such as FAR, or max height to generate what the mass of a building type would look like on any given block or parcel. It offers the ability to parametrically develop and test different massing and program distribution scenarios, using schematic building types and existing, or proposed, zoning codes. Forget about Ctrl C, Ctrl V! The workflow presented here uses CityEngine and a new addition to the Esri family: ArcGIS Urban.ĪrcGIS Urban is a 3D web tool that links regulatory changes (such as zoning), with spatial transformations at a massing level. So, let’s take a deep dive into an approach that can emancipate you from tracing, and make some design tasks easier and faster. Below you can read my first blog on a proposed workflow for designing masterplans faster than ever before!Īs many of you designers and planners know, creating your site’s 3D context, developing initial massing studies and program distribution diagrams, and applying block typologies to your urban intervention, requires A LOT of work. Before jumping into the cool stuff, a quick introduction: I work for Esri’s Smart Cities group – a 3D GIS geek by day, and a passionate urban designer by night.
