Markus,
Very, very nice! Is there a tutorial on how this is done?
That's pretty easy:
- get 2D building polygons with heights as attribute column (v.in.ogr)
- get DEM (r.in.gdal)
- get orthophoto (r.in.gdal)
- interpolate dem to highres (I used 2m pixels) with r.surf.rst
- extrude 2D buildings to 3D (v.extrude, give building heights attribute
column as option and 2m DEM as elevation)
- start nviz with
nviz dem2m vect=buildings3d col=orthophoto
that's it!
If not, is it
possible to use the Trento dataset to create one? One possible use ? if
other details can be worked out ? is to create maps of flood inundation
to show buildings affected by flooding.
OK, I couldn't resist 
http://mpa.itc.it/markus/grass61/demos/rlake/
-> see at bottom for new screenshot with flooding
(needs r.lake which is still not in CVS...)
I understand one must have the
building data (how was *that* obtained?).
The Trento municipality was going out and digitizing all builings.
Another option is to digitize building footprints from orthophoto
(v.digit) and assign a typical height to each building.
If you are lucky, get 3D DXF buildings and import them with
the recently updated v.in.dxf.
This type of presentation is
very effective in capturing the imagination (as it were) of those
possibly affected by flooding.
Fully agreed and done. Except for r.lake everything is in
6.1-CVS.
Only the merge of the flood map with orthophoto could be better
(r.mapcalc will kill the color table, r.patch as well). In February
I did a trick in nviz (see earlier flood screenshots) which I
don't remember today (maybe I loaded the DEM twice or so).
Best,
Markus

Tom
