City of St. Pierre (St. Pierre & Miquelon). Different layers
are used to explain the re-use of the old landing strip.
There are very few "real" tools that can let you work in urban
planning (as in landscaping). The trouble with this art is that the city
is already there (usually!) and that the plans were made in the 19th century.
And none of us has the desire of drawing it all over again, just because
we work on a peculiar district.
The capability in PowerCADD of placing aerial photographs at a 'working'
scale and drawing over it, lets you design with accuracy and freedom!
Another important feature is the layer sheets that can be most useful in
collective work, as you are able to demonstrate quickly different states
of the 'would-be' planning (one of my dreams is be to be able to save these
in a QuickTime format without getting out of PowerCADD).
