A modern 3D city design solution
Discover how ArcGIS CityEngine can help optimize your typical workflows in urban design and planning, architecture, and 3D immersive experiences.
Gain a deeper understanding of real-world urban contexts with 3D models. Create and iterate on urban development projects using existing data, or design new cities from scratch. CityEngine consumes data for urban planning environments to create procedural models you can use to test your ideas and solve problems.
Create realistic, place-based building models and iterate between different parameters by adjusting floor plans, size, architectural styles, and textures. View structures in context to analyze factors such as zoning requirements, natural resource preservation, viewshed, and more.
Take your CityEngine models to new heights by leveraging integrations with industry-leading game engines. Connect CityEngine to powerful animation tools to create hyper-realistic 3D scenes, stunning visual effects, and interactive experiences and simulations.
Use CityEngine to push the boundaries of what’s possible for urban design.
Create and scale urban models in context, regardless of size, scope, or level of detail. Build out procedural models from simple designs and add details as your project develops and additional requirements are added.
Use the Get Map Data function in CityEngine to import public or private basemap and terrain data and consume a range of file types such as shapefiles, geodatabases, CAD, and BIM.
Procedurally generate multiple versions of a 3D model based on different requirements to show planned changes. Share multiple design alternatives with your team or stakeholders to gather feedback.
Transform your ArcGIS CityEngine models into immersive experiences or simulations by connecting to industry-leading game engines using a range of free plug-ins built and provided by Esri.
Connect CityEngine to the ArcGIS ecosystem for improved collaboration. Leverage integration with ArcGIS Urban to streamline and optimize urban design and planning.
ArcGIS CityEngine is now available through user types, making it easier than ever to incorporate into your existing ArcGIS environment. Share and collaborate on projects and connect to products such as ArcGIS Urban to optimize workflows.
