Volumetric pictures are a remarkable material for virtual 
popularization of cultural objects in historical plan and in tourist 
activity. 
3D modeling is especially important when you are going: 
• to fix the current state of architectural monuments and 
their interiors 
• to project the restoration and reconstruction of the 
objects 
• to create 3D maps for landscape analyze, for urban 
planning, for urban monitoring. 
• to create the library of 3D models of the cultural 
objects in geoinformational system. 
For 3D modeling the modem software was used. The fast 
growth of modem technologies of 3D lazar scanning and the 
traditional photogrammetry allows to get the reliable data about 
object. 
Before digital photogrammetric stations there was the following 
technology: 
• ground survey of the facades and parts of 
buildingsfwith a help of photographic field 
camera) 
• creating their graphic images (with a help of analog 
stereo devices) 
• digitalization 
• creating 3D framework of the monument with a help 
of infloors plans and volumetric drawings 
• creating 3D models in GIS and 3D software (Autocad, 
3D Studio MAX and so on..) 
Today the digital images for creating orthophotomaps are used. 
They are obtained by scanning photo images. The next 
processing is made with the help of Russian photogrammetric 
stations “Digitals” or “Talka”. 
3D modeling was made on the maps scaled 1:500 and 1:2000, 
which were made on the digital photogrammetric station 
“Digitals”. It allowed to automate the photogrammetric 
processes and provided the new quality of processing. 
It was made with a help of Microstation and Autocad. The 
visualization was made in 3D Studio Max. Figure 2 represents 
3D model of the single object and the territory in the whole. 
For practical use of volumetric models the specialists of 
Uralgeoinform created new 3D editor “3D Konstruktor”. With 
the help of it you can easily view and edit volumetric objects. 
Then you can solve some engineering tasks for urban planning 
in historical territories. This editor was written in Delphi 5.0 
with the use of system of graphic standard OpenGL.

Conclusions 
This GIS is widely used on the territory of Sverdlovsk region 
and the created technologies can become the examples and 
bases for creating the similar systems in other territories. Surely 
the system has the number of problems. Firstly there is no 
proper normative-legislative base for information exchanging 
between different departments (rules of exchange and 
integration of different informational resources). Then there are 
no methods of organization for accompaniment and storing 
electronic documents and electronic achieves in the whole. 
But we are sure that the development of informational flows in 
Russian Federation may solve all these problems
