About the demonstration

This demonstration allows you to explore an area of Bristol in 2D and 3D, leave your comments associated with specific buildings and view environmental information such as flood models from viewpoints chosen by you. The example data in this demonstration is from the Bristol Harbourside in the UK.

In a real planning consultation, proposed developments such as new buildings or alterations to existing buildings, might be highlighted so people can click on the buildings for further information about the plans and to leave their comments.

With this tool you can:

• view and move around an area of Bristol harbourside in 3D
• choose to view the 3D area from pre-set viewpoints
• click on 2D markers or specific buildings to see comments, videos & images
• add your own comments about one of the buildings
• view flood information in 3D.
