Overview

Description

Giraffe lets urban designers create exclusive 3D designs in a more communicative and fast way with a lot of creativity and fun. This software provides its users with the best optimizing opportunities that enable them to design much better urban environments. With this 3D platform, users can now draw smarter, accelerate their work with vector drafting tools and draw roads, design the area, and then convert the plan into a 3D model online. Besides this, one can even export projects to other software and continue working on the same. When working on any project, users can easily fetch information in real-time. One can calculate the area and other key ratios automatically from the plan. Apart from this, users can connect their projects to any public GIS layer, or private data easily. Once the projects are completed, users can automate the workflows with apps from their organization. This all-in-one 3D platform serves to be helpful to architects and area planners who want to create a 3D draft before beginning with hands-on work. Read more
