CityGML has the potential to broaden the amount and quality of spatial data that is available for use in 3D modelling software. Across the globe, an increasing number of cities and companies are building virtual 3D city models for use in various areas including urban planning, disaster management, navigation and environmental simulations. Learn how FME can help you easily convert, restructure, integrate and distribute this CityGML data to use and share in more than 300 different formats.
How to Easily Read and Write CityGML Data (Without Coding)Safe Software
3D geospatial and GeoBIM data can be notoriously difficult to share. They are both often massive, detailed, and when combined into a single dataset, anything but user-friendly.
Fortunately, for all those who work with these types of urban scale 3D datasets: CityGML is your interoperability solution. With CityGML, you can easily exchange 3D data at various levels of detail. It’s internationally embraced as a cost-effective solution for disaster management, facility management, navigation, environmental simulations, and city planning.
Join us to see how you can read and write data to CityGML, and how it fits into the whole picture of GeoBIM, so you can gain interoperability over your most difficult datasets. We’ll show you how you can:
- Move data between CityGML, Sketchup, MUDDI, CAD, Revit, etc., all without coding
- Change 2D data to 3D for use in CityGML
- Get your preferred level of detail by simplifying models or increasing detail
- Work with nested object-oriented CityGML and more
- Become inspired by customer use cases
By using FME to manage data for CityGML, you can freely exchange data and use it for visualizations and spatial analysis.

How to Create GIS and BIM InteroperabilitySafe Software
Discover how to solve the most common problems with BIM and GIS integration. See how to easily move data between IFC, Autodesk Revit, SketchUp 2015, Esri ArcGIS, AutoCAD, and more. You'll also learn how to use automated techniques to get simplified BIM geometries into GIS, combine attribute or tabular data with existing models, perform space extraction, QC data, and much more.
Semantic 3D City Models are the basis of a new generation of virtual reality. The most relevant objects within a city including manmade and natural objects are mapped to objects within a semantic 3D city model. These objects are classified, further substructured (e.g. a building is decomposed into roof and wall parts etc.), attributed, and have spatial and semantic relations to other objects. The international standard CityGML issued by the Open Geospatial Consortium provides a common vocabulary and definitions for describing and managing urban entities which enables interoperability over the many different cities all over the world.
This presentation shows how CityGML based semantic 3D city models are used to link data from diverse application fields like energy planning, disaster management, and environmental analyses on a stable ground. Special focus is on the support of strategic energy planning, demonstrated for the research project "Energy Atlas Berlin" that was funded by the "Climate KIC" of the European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT). We show the city-wide estimation of the energy demands of buildings including heating, electricity and warm water energy in the city of Berlin using available official geobase and statistical data integrated within the Energy Atlas Berlin.
The tools have been mostly developed at the chair of Geoinformatics at Technische Universität München (TUM). They are now being further developed in follow-up projects and applied with housing companies, energy suppliers, and urban retrofitting initiatives.

Integration of BIM and GIS: From Ideal to RealitySANGHEE SHIN
I gave this talk at the Smart Geo Expo Conference that was co-organized by LH Corp and OGC. In this talk I've tried to share the real experiences of BIM & GIS integration in real projects.
Building Information Modelling is changing the way the engineering, architecture and construction industry is operating.
The availability of BIM models provide a very rich source of data but due to the use of specific data models and standards integrating this data with GIS introduces challenges.
In this presentation we introduce BIM and the major differences with GIS, we give an overview of the standards in the BIM end Geo domain, introduce the major open source BIM tools and demonstrate the integration of BIM models in a GIS environment.
BIM Workflows: How to Build from CAD & GIS for InfrastructureSafe Software
BIM workflows give facilities managers, architects, and engineers key information for better-informed infrastructure planning and management. But how do you migrate to a BIM system when your current data is stored in CAD? Through a real-world international airport example, find out how CAD and engineering data can be centralized in a Document Management System (Autodesk Vault) and GIS database (SQL Server Spatial) using FME, and learn how to create BIM workflows from CAD data.
Design and Development of BIM on GIS Interoperability Open Platformslhead1
ecently, Construction data has evolved from CAD to BIM and BIM becomes more important data used in various fields like facility management and 3D GIS construction, so there is an increasing need for developing technologies that can be effectively used in post-construction steps. There are lots of trials to model and service not only geographical terrain and outdoor but also indoor space. From this perspective, establishment of BIM and GIS interoperable method and development of service platform became the most important core technology. On this research, spatial data linkage model has been devised to smoothly implement the interoperability between two different kinds of data - BIM data and GIS data.
The platform basically displays BIM data based on 3D GIS such as WorldWind Java developed by NASA and Google Earth. It is also possible to interactively move in and out the buildings and also to see the outside of the building when a user is inside the building and inside of the building while a user is outside the building. Besides, the platform makes users look up the objects of buildings and properties of objects one by one, floor by floor, by similar properties, or all. Users can also edit the properties of objects and do spatial queries for analysis of the data.
This project is co research project of KICT(Korea Institute of Construction Technology) and Gaia3D and working closely together to develop BIM and GIS Interoperability Open-Platform for the integration of BIM and GIS data since 2012 and have developed the system for smooth operation of big size 3D BIM data and GIS data about plenty of buildings in areas or cities, not just one building. Now, core technologies to integrate BIM into GIS are successfully developed and we will keep improving the system step by step. KICT and Gaia3D together have designed and developed BIM and GIS interoperability open-platform based on the spatial data linkage model. Links between BIM data and GIS data enables efficient and seamless management of indoor and outdoor information at the same time and it also could be used for various services such as real estates and AR (Augmented Reality) services. Gaia3D develops 3D facility management system for Antarctic King Sejong science station to efficiently manage the facilities and publicly promote the station using BIM on GIS system with open source GIS software.
Applying BIM workflows can provide significant efficiencies for design and construction projects. However there are so many BIM benefits that it is important to define the specific BIM Uses that teams should focus on. In this presentation we talk about what BIM Uses there are and how to create a plan for the top 5 BIM Uses on your next project.

Application of Foundation Model for Autonomous DrivingYu Huang
Since DARPA’s Grand Challenges (rural) in 2004/05 and Urban Challenges in 2007, autonomous driving has been the most active field of AI applications. Recently powered by large language models (LLMs), chat systems, such as chatGPT and PaLM, emerge and rapidly become a promising direction to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI) in natural language processing (NLP). There comes a natural thinking that we could employ these abilities to reformulate autonomous driving. By combining LLM with foundation models, it is possible to utilize the human knowledge, commonsense and reasoning to rebuild autonomous driving systems from the current long-tailed AI dilemma. In this paper, we investigate the techniques of foundation models and LLMs applied for autonomous driving, categorized as simulation, world model, data annotation and planning or E2E solutions etc.

Sjors Donkers - Automatic generation of CityGML LoD3 building models from IFC...SDonkers
CityGML is a standardized data format used to store the semantic information and geometries of buildings and other object classes of 3D city models. The Level of Detail of current state of the art city models (LoD2) is not sufficient for accurate environmental simulations like noise, the solar potential of windows and other types of analyses. An LoD3 building model represents the full architectural exterior of a building with balconies, windows and so forth. The generation of these models needs to be automated as it is otherwise infeasible due to the required high amount of manual labour. In the architectural world, detailed building models are created in IFC format. This thesis shows that it is possible to automatically generate valid and semantically rich CityGML LoD3 building models directly from IFC models. Also an initial investigation is done on the possibilities for the conversion of IFC models to CityGML LoD4.
For the conversion the semantic and geometric validity requirements are determined for CityGML. A methodology for the conversion is developed and a prototype implementation is made to prove the effectiveness of the conversion. The conversion consists of three parts: 1) The extraction and mapping of IFC semantics to CityGML semantics; 2) A geometric generalization which extracts the exterior shell using a transformation based on Boolean and morphological operations; 3) Semantic and geometric refinements which optimize the model for analyses. The developed prototype is able to successfully convert IFC models to CityGML LoD3. All the resulting models were geometrically validated according to the ISO19107 standard, and semantics were checked manually. Few improper semantics occur in the output due to missing semantics in IFC. For example, there are no semantics for balconies or dormers in IFC. Recommendations are given to improve the alignment between the two formats. For IFC additional semantics are recommended whereas it is important for CityGML to specify how certain aspects are to be modelled.
The research presented in this thesis can be used as the foundation for future work on the interoperability between Architecture and Geomatics. The software package is open source and freely available at https://github.com/tudelft-gist/ifc2citygml.

UK Government - Building A New World | NBS Breakfast Seminar (January 2017)The NBS
Mark Bew MBE, chairman of PSGC, Director at ECS and Chairman of Digital Built Britain and the UK BIM Task Group, joined NBS to present a breakfast seminar exploring the digital construction revolution. He showed how Level 2 BIM has started to reap massive rewards and how the road to Level 3 BIM and beyond is set to be even more challenging yet has the potential to unlock amazing potential to deliver better project outcomes.
The role of commissioning in closing the gap BSRIA
To ensure design objectives are met the industry must embed a circular approach where building evaluation is used to measure and optimize asset performance and feed the lessons learnt back into design. Building performance data will identify the 'gap' and inform subsequent projects resulting in the conclusion of one project leading to the beginning of the next. This session will provide practical lessons learnt from the performance gap and show how improvements can be applied to future projects
Possibilities of adding FM-specific data into BIM in early Design PhasesRuben Van de Walle
The use of BIM for Facility Management purposes, should not be considered from a mere FM point of view. The real power of such an implementation lies in the ability to predict not only the building cost using BIM, but also the maintenance and operating costs, and even the business operating costs, thus taking control over the biggest numbers of the 1-5-200 rule of thumb, often mentioned when designing (larger) buildings, but seldom shown in the figures when making a first estimate...
Presented on Beyond BIM Symposium - UGent - 09.12.2015
The Engineering & Construction (E&C) industry strongly
affects the economy, the environment and society as a
whole. It touches the daily lives of everyone, as quality of life
is heavily influenced by the built environment surrounding
people. The construction industry serves almost all other
industries, as all economic value creation occurs within or
by means of buildings or other “constructed assets”. As
an industry, moreover, it accounts for 6% of global GDP. It
is also the largest global consumer of raw materials, and
constructed objects account for 25-40% of the world’s total
carbon emissions.
Multiple global megatrends are shaping the future of
construction. Consider just two developments: first,
30% of global greenhouse gas emissions are attributable
to buildings (at the same time, the UK government
has set a target for 2025 of 50% reduction in today’s
level of greenhouse gas emissions in the country’s built
environment); second, the population of the world’s urban
areas is increasing by 200,000 people per day, all of whom
need affordable housing as well as social, transportation
and utility infrastructure. Such trends pose challenges but
also offer opportunities; either way, they require an adequate
response from the industry as a whole.
The amount of non-graphical information developed for a given stage is termed “Level of Information” or LOI and the amount of graphical information developed is termed “Level of Detail” or LOD. Both form part of the overall umbrella term: “Level of Definition”

Creating, Managing and Sharing 3D Cities with FMESafe Software
Decades after GIS went 3D for the first time, currently there is an enormous hype on creating and managing smart 3D Virtual Cities. Driven by the ongoing integration of BIM, CAD and GIS data, data transformation capabilities are more important than ever before. This presentation will examine basic concepts on 3D Data modelling and data standards like CityGML, Esri’s 3D City Information Model and IFC (Industry Foundation Classes). Examples illustrate how LiDAR data sets can be used to generate terrain models and 3D Data Models in combination with 2D GIS and CAD data. In addition, strategies for sharing and publishing 3D content will be demonstrated. Attendees will get an understanding of how 3D data integration tasks can be solved with FME.
This presentation shows the use of FME technology in complex data model transformation tasks such as the creation of CityGML from diverse data inputs as well as transformation of data out of the CityGML format into industry standards.
State of mago3D, An Open Source Based Digital Twin PlatformSANGHEE SHIN
I gave this talk at the FOSS4G Thailand 2019 which was held at Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok on 4th Nov 2019. I talked about the recent achievements and improvements of mago3D project, an open source based Digital Twin platform. mago3D(http mago3d.com) is relatively new project first released in July 2017. The ultimate goal of mago3D is developing an open source based digital twin platform that can replicate and simulate the real world objects, processes, and phenomena on web environment. mago3D has been used in various industry sectors including ship building, urban management, indoor data management, and national defense. In this talk I showcased several real projects that used the mago3D and shared what I learnt from these projects. Also I introduced new features and future plan of mago3D.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.

22. CityGML: Motivation
An increasing number of cities and companies are
building virtual 3D city models
Different application areas:
E.g. Urban planning, disaster management,
navigation, environmental simulations
Graphical or geometric models are limited to
visualisation purposes
Growing need for Semantic Models to satisfy:
thematic queries, analysis, spatial data mining
Reusability -> costs reduction
24. CityGML: What is it?
CityGML is a data model and exchange format for
virtual 3d city models
Modeling of all relevant parts of the virtual city
according to their semantics, geometry, topology
and appearance
GML 3 application schema (XML based)
CityGML 1.0 is OGC Standard since 2008
Latest version is 2.0 approved in spring 2012
25. CityGML | Characteristics
Modularisation (Thematic Model)
Buildings, Roads, CityFurniture,…
Coherence of semantics and geometry
