It also allows for better spatially located designs by integrating satellite imagery. > > **Cons**: Its only disadvantage is that it requires hardware with high processing capacity and a minimum graphics card to be able to work smoothly, otherwise it may present delays or even fail to open the application. > > In general, I find it an essential tool for the automated design of certain structures, it saves time and generates very realistic 3D models. ----- ### "City Engine- An amazing and powerful tool for Urban City Design" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *29 March 2021* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I am pretty much inspired by this tool. You can create 3D visualization very easily with City Engine. I found it very useful for carrying out urban planning projects. It also saves your time as compared to other ways of 3D visualization. > > **Cons**: It works good but sometimes unstable integration to other Softwares makes the process slow. Also, rendering can be better for the effective use of this tool. > > I often don't make reviews for the products or services but City Engine impressed me a lot to do this here. it's an impressive tool in the world of 3D modeling. It provides high-end visualization and multiple design alternatives for your team. A highly recommended tool from my side. ----- ### "I have requested Trial version several times over the years of improvements but features not stable" — 4.0/5 > **Ahmad** | *28 February 2018* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Access to satellite landscape geodata maps for desire project location and transition the data to other 3D Applications. Generate City in few minutes even though some features are not stable. > > **Cons**: Unstable Integration to other Software or Game Engines is a major drawback. This could be among other reasons why many potential users out there avoid the Software package. Other big firms do use it with their custom "Scripts" to avoid features limitations. > > Excellent for fast city planning rough draft and final draft ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/145353/cityengine) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
