3D city models for Rhino, SketchUp, AutoCAD and GIS
OSMosis exports a 3D model of any place as Rhino 3DM, DXF, SketchUp DAE, GLB, OBJ, STL, laser-cutting sheets (SVG and DXF), KML, GeoJSON and JSON, layer by layer, so a site model for a competition, a massing study or a GIS map takes minutes instead of days.
Formats
- Rhino 3DM and DXF for CAD and Rhino.
- SketchUp DAE, GLB, OBJ and STL for 3D software, rendering and 3D printing.
- Laser-cutting sheets as SVG and DXF for physical site models.
- KML, GeoJSON and JSON for GIS.
- A3 drawing sheets at a true scale (figure-ground, land use, density, heights, 15-minute access, a section and a mental map) as SVG or PNG.
How to do it
- Build the study area in OSMosis.
- Open Export in the panel and choose the format and layers.
- Exports and drawings come with the paid plans; the free Explore plan shows every view and analysis.
Questions
How do I get a 3D city model for Rhino?
In OSMosis, build the place, then choose Export and Rhino 3DM (or DXF). The buildings, streets, green and water come as separate layers.
Can I download a city model for SketchUp?
Yes. OSMosis exports SketchUp DAE, as well as GLB, OBJ and STL.
Can I get the site as GIS data?
Yes. OSMosis exports KML, GeoJSON and JSON, and tables such as the site plan schedule as CSV.
Is the 3D city model free?
Building and viewing the model is free on the Explore plan for three small study areas. Downloads come with the paid plans, including a one-off Site pass for a single project.
