3D Downtown Buildings
The 3D buildings model is a high quality product that enhances the ability for developers and architects to visually incorporate their proposed building within the context of existing downtown structures. The 3D building files are available in 3DS format and can be explored using the Autodesk 3ds Max Design software and other applications such as Google SketchUp, ESRI ArcScene, and ESRI ArcGlobe.
