This is important as in researching more opportune techniques for public consultation we can push w

3D Models in Detail: Area Capture with Photogrammetry

Introduction In part one of the series , we evidenced a growing adoption of 3D modelling and model making for community engagement. There is a greater push for design quality within the industry, and this has been supported by the UK Government (see White Paper on Planning for the Future ) which may see 3D visualisations of current and the future built environments take a more permanent and prominent role within the planning process, including public consultation. In the second part of a s
