Abstract
A geospatial modeling system may include a geospatial model data storage device, a user input device, and a display. A processor may be included for cooperating with the geospatial model data storage device, the user input device and the display for displaying a geospatial model data set on the display including at least one group of building data points, and displaying a plurality of user-selectable different building shapes on the display based upon the at least one group of building data points. The plurality of user-selectable different building shapes may have different respective feature detail levels. The processor may further replace the at least one group of building data points with a given one of the user-selectable different building shapes based upon user selection thereof with the user input device.
