OSMosis

What OSMosis does

OSMosis is a web tool for architects, urban designers, planners, developers and municipalities: it builds a measured 3D model of any place on Earth from a name, an address or a site boundary, and runs site analysis, walkability and transit studies, climate readings and concept masterplans on it, with exports to Rhino, SketchUp, CAD and GIS.
