How to quickly and easily create an iCD model using data imported from Open Street Map (OSM). Showing you how and what can be imported and how to edit once populated in iCD.

How to create objects such as Buildings, Landscape features and Roads directly within iCD.

Explore the types of visualisation available in iCD.

Understanding what the different energy and solar/shading simulation options offered and how to run a basic energy simulation.

Look at how to calculate water consumption and waste water for buildings, either using default data or by modifying it with specific building data if available. View the subsequent results, such as water use intensity, or access dynamic reports at model level.

Overview of the different default reports available within iCD. Including site, energy, water urban planning and renewable reports.

How to run a basic solar and Photovoltaic Panel assessment. Covering how to create and place PV objects and undertake simulations.

Understand what is within a walkable or bikeable distance from any point using routes along paths and streets rather than a standard radius method.

How to create, manage and use Boundaries to divide, group or combine buildings within your iCD model either by geographic zone or building attributes.

The uses of and how to create and list custom attributes.

Learn how to copy and paste common object properties across multiple buildings to greatly speed up model set-up.

Setting user and model preferences within iCD to customise your experience.

Understand how to create custom attributes and measure distances to specific amenities or services. 

How to manage visibility of different object attributes and layers such as buildings, roads, landscaping.

See how to set and link your iSCAN project to your iCD model by managing iSCAN endpoint in iCD. It then covers how to launch a simulation in iCD that allows you to export the simulation results generated in the iCD into iSCAN. You can then plot and view these results as time-series data in iSCAN.

This video covers the scenarios feature which gives an easy way to compare the performance of different design options or review the impact of proposed water or energy efficiency measures.

The Time feature is used to add time as a dimension to the simulation. It allows you to track and visualize construction and demolition of buildings as phases of development, to view the level of development at any chosen moment in time.

This video covers how to import a .dxf file into iCD to accurately trace the footprint from the CAD file, and then edit layers and entities to create suitable objects for quick editing and assignment of data within iCD.

This video covers how to import an object from a SHP file into iCD and how to manually assign attributes and locate them in iCD for further editing once they are imported.

How to import a GeoJSON file into iCD, and then customise the target attributes prior to mapping for further editing in iCD.
