Hello,
My concern is how to import a landscape with the building of interest to my calculations (solar or CFD studies) along with surrounding 3D buildings and entire urban environment as depicted in attached file.
What tools should I use? How to determine the height of surrounding buildings and shape (Google Earth perhaps)?
How to set roughness of the terrain (important for CFD studies)?
What tools wold be useful for importing entire sites with respect to topography features such as slope, global positioning (e.g. latitude, longitude, height etc)?

Thanks muchly.
Cheers
