In recent years in Poland for many cities 3D models were created. These developments mainly building models which contain only geometric information were included. However, it is advisable to extend the functionality and spectrum of applications of these models by adding to them information from existing databases. In this article the integration of 3D building models with databases were presented. Two methods of connection of both sets of data were analyzed. First was based on independent connection CAD model with database file and the second was integrated both types of data in CityGML structure. The capabilities of both methods on example 3D data were examined. The 3D data interior and exterior part of building were included. Based on analyzes it was found that the first connection methods used ODBC interface was more friendly for user, because integration could be done in CAD software usually used to 3D models creation. This method to connection used unique identifier MSLINK definited for all database records. The structure of connected database allowed to connect together individual attribute to set of date (tables) collected in different department of institution. The CityGML standard allowed saving not only descriptive information, but also describe semantic and topology of the objects. This format on creation stage request from user a knowledge about specific recording structure based on XML code. In CityGML standard default attributes for individual spatial objects were defined. The values for this attributes in specific code list were determined. In both presented methods it was allowed to add user attributes
