3DCityDB-Tools Plug-In for QGIS: Server-Side Support for 3DCityDB v.5.0

This repository provides server-side support to 3DCityDB-Tools Plug-In for QGIS, enabling GIS layer-based interaction with 3D city model data stored within 3DCityDB 5.0.

Quick Start

1. Install PostgreSQL & PostGIS
2. Set up 3DCityDB 5.0 and import data
3. Install QGIS package
4. Check existence of feature geometries and attributes
5. Create GIS layers
6. Interact with CityGML data via layers in QGIS
