They needed a wide-ranging tool for use down the years by their project teams, who tackle changing and diverse problems. We talked to them and demonstrated ER Mapper . They looked at it critically but open-mindedly, tried all the features, and said yes. They now use it on their individual Windows NT desktop workstations.

Town planners support the scheme, because they want to encourage a community to live there again.
But residents will be living in units at the top of shops and in other mixed situations, so this is no average residential development. And each unit must have a veranda or window facing the street. We would show the developers how to create a 3D computer model of all the proposed units, and the surrounding streets. When the model was built, the developers could 'walk' their prospects down realistic-looking streets on the screen, all in 3D, and look at the units from any angle. They could see the views from windows in a chosen unit.
