Buildings are the foundation of any 3D city; they create a realistic visual context for understanding the built environment. This rule can help you quickly create 3D buildings using your existing 2D building footprint polygons. Create buildings for your whole city or specific areas of interest. Use the buildings for context surrounding higher-detail buildings or proposed future developments.Already have existing 3D buildings?

The database icon will change to blue when the rule parameter is mapped to an attribute field. The rule will automatically connect when field names match rule parameter names. Use layer files to preserve rule configurations unique to your data.For those who want to know moreThis rule is part of a the 3D Rule Library available in the Living Atlas.
