This paper presents a strategy for integrating a fully three-dimensional environmental simulation system with an industry-standard computer-aided design system and a traditional two-dimensional geographic information system and databases. The integrated system provides a full package for modeling, exploration, and display of alternative physical environments. The proposed links between the systems are discussed with respect to the efficiency of the simulation process as well as the user interface.
