3D DATA DOWNLOAD 

The Planning Department GIS Lab maintains a 3D model of the city available for public download. The 3D model is constructed of several components: Terrain, Groundplan, and 3D models of buildings. Each of the city-model components is made available in open-source data formats, and as an all-in-one SketchUp format model that combines all of the components in one model per tile that can be imported with into most modeling tools.
