ArcGIS Urban includes 3 templates for determining what data will function behind the scenes of your model:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The USA Default<\/strong> template includes a set of predefined space-uses, building and zoning types, metrics, and ArcGIS Living Atlas datasets as Indicators. This the best choice, even for international models, because it provides a base for starting your work that can easily be modified and localized, and includes many metrics commonly used to analyze planning scenarios, such as population, housing units, and emissions.<\/li>\n
  2. The File Geodatabase<\/strong> template requires a gdb. file of an existing urban model. This is a great choice for organizations that want to distribute localized versions of a model.<\/li>\n
  3. The Empty<\/strong> template creates a blank canvas for your model that does not include any data after setup. Use this template if your team has prepared\u00a0 a specific vision for the data you want to use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you’re using your own 3D data, consider adding or updating buildings and trees in the OSM 3D scene layers for your areas of interest (e.g. business and school campuses, recreational areas, etc.). See Enhance Data<\/strong> in New OSM 3D Scene Layers<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    You no longer need to provide your own 3D data to set up a model. All newly created models are now generated in minutes and include 3D buildings and trees for your city or town. This data, OSM 3D scene layers, are also available for use in existing models.<\/div>\n
