Plan.City Integration with MBS Software

Plan.City + MBS is an industry-funded presentation toolset application, jointly developed by AccuCities and MBS Survey Software. It allows users to import and display results data exported from MBS software in a visually attractive 3D environment with easy navigation. The application is now released in Version 1.0.

Plan.City + MBS can import 3D geometry and files exported from MBS Software and display this information in a visually attractive, information-rich environment. The app can display the results of multiple Vertical Sky Component (VSC), Annual Probable Sunlight Hours (APSH), Winter Probable Sunlight Hours (WPSH), and Rights of Light (RoL) studies.

Users can display and compare different proposals, toggle between them and instantly see the impact of these planned schemes on the neighbouring properties. The results are annotated, differ by colour, can be filtered by results, building or floor, and can be viewed in 3D or in a data table. For an even better perspective, users can position themselves in the 3D environment, either outside or inside the neighbouring properties.

The app is built on Unreal Engine 5 and is available as a subscription to a stand-alone Windows application and/or a Cloud application. For infrequent users and one-off presentations, the cloud application is available with as little as 30-day subscription.

MBS Software has been developing software for over 25 years, Its daylighting packages plug into the customers’ CAD environment to avoid repetitive modelling. The state-of-the-art daylighting packages incorporate the internationally recognised ‘Radiance’ daylight simulation package.

Plan.City is a set of site evaluation & presentation tools for Architects and Urban Planners developed by AccuCities. Powered by Unreal Engine and designed to handle large 3D city modelling datasets, Plan.City is the ideal platform for presenting results from MBS Software.

Plan.City + MBS app aims to give architects and planning consultants a user-friendly way to present results of their planning studies. As the app is industry-funded, it is not released to the general public. For more information contact us here.
