Core Features

Interviewer Wizard

Automatically calculates the default block size and the number of LODs
Sets top-level project parameters

Vector Editor

Integrated into the thumbnail view, the Vector Editor allows imagery and elevation data to be used as reference while vectors are being created or edited.

3-D Editor

Allows for the addition, editing (position, scale, and orientation), and deletion of 3D models

Icon-based Library

Simplifies the selection of both 3D models and 3D textures

Rule-based Construction

The user defines how functions are executed in the database by mapping data attributes to functions
Project construction becomes user independent
Existing projects can act as templates, thereby allowing less experienced users to produce complex databases
Changing source material resolution does not require re-starting the entire project Building with Terra Vista Blocks
Single neighborhood or entire earth can be built with one project
Individual blocks can be updated independently of the others
Blocks require fewer system resources to produce databases
Blocks provide superior data, system, and power tolerance
