GEOFRAME DOCUMENTATION / WORKING IN A DISTRICT

Workflows by use case

Step-by-step ways planners, architects, marketers, teachers and community groups use GeoFrame.

01

Planning departments: a proposal before the hearing

  1. Build the site

    Build the district around the application, or open it if your jurisdiction is already kept current.

  2. Place the proposal

    Import the applicant's DXF, IFC or 3D model, or rough out the massing in Creator from the plan set.

  3. Check it

    Turn the sun to the hours that matter, measure setbacks and look from the neighbors' side of the street.

  4. Present

    Open it on a presentation account in the chamber, with owner names hidden, and save pictures for the staff report.

  5. Publish

    Put the study on the city website with the Government plan's public embed.

02

Architects and developers: massing in real context

  1. Check the lot

    Click the parcel for lot size, zoning and the coastal-zone flag before the first site visit.

  2. Try options

    Make one map per option: a quick box in simple mode, a freehand footprint, or a draft from the AI assistant.

  3. Bring the design in

    Import the current model from your CAD tool to test it on the real terrain.

  4. Show the client

    Send a share link (Pro) or a client link (Team), and export pictures or a .glb of the Creator model.

03

Real-estate marketing: sell the neighborhood

  1. Build the area

    Build the district around the listing or development; a Project Pass covers one premium area around a site.

  2. Set the scene

    Pick golden hour or dusk and fly the route a buyer would walk.

  3. Export

    Export image and video for the listing, the website and social posts, and keep the data credit line with them.

04

Teachers: students model their own town

  1. Set up the class

    Education is free for classes. Tell us your school and course.

  2. Pick the town

    Each student or group takes a district of the place they live.

  3. Propose something

    Students add a building, a park or a street change in Creator, then present it the way a planning commission would see it.

05

Tourism boards and chambers: flyovers of the real place

Build the downtown or the coastline, choose the time of day and export flyover video and stills. Every clip on this website was made this way.

06

Community groups: show it before you speak

A Project Pass covers one site with no subscription: model the proposal on the real street, then share a public link, hosted for 90 days, before the meeting.
