Abstract
This paper explores the state of the art in 3D city modelling and draws attention to the ‘missing link’ between models of buildings and models of the surrounding terrain. Without such integrated modelling, applications that cross this divide are stalled. In this paper we propose a conceptual approach to this problem and set out a constraint-based solution to three dimensional modelling of buildings and terrains together.
