Every feature on its own layer
Show, hide or edit each one independently, in your viewer or CAD tool.
Terrain, buildings, roads, water, land cover and trees, each on a separate layer you can turn on and off in your viewer or CAD tool.
High-detail buildings from national surveys
In covered areas, switch the buildings layer to high-detail: real measured roof shapes and volumes captured by national mapping agencies with aerial LiDAR and photogrammetry, instead of extruded footprints.
Current coverage:

- SwitzerlandswissBUILDINGS3D (swisstopo)aerial photogrammetry
- Germanybasemap.de (BKG)aerial LiDAR survey

Coverage grows as national agencies publish new open data.

Frequently asked questions
- Are the models georeferenced? What coordinate system do they use?
- Yes. Every model is georeferenced to UTM or EPSG:3857 and oriented to true north, so it imports at the correct real-world location in your CAD or BIM software.
- How accurate is the data?
- Models are built from open data: elevation up to 1 m resolution, building and topographic data from OpenStreetMap, and aerial imagery up to 20 cm per pixel. They're ready-to-use context and site models, not a substitute for a measured land survey.
- How is it priced? Am I billed by area or km²?
- No. You pay one flat price per map, whatever the area. There's no per-km² metering and no subscription required, though an unlimited monthly plan is available if you export often.
- Which formats and software are supported?
- Export to .ifc (Revit, ArchiCAD, Vectorworks) and .obj (AutoCAD, Rhino, SketchUp, Blender), plus .glTF, .stl, .3mf and .dxf. Models work offline once downloaded.
- Can I use the models commercially?
- Yes. Commercial use is included. The underlying imagery sources are open data; most require an attribution credit when you reuse the model. View data sources →
