Plugins for every program

AcRvC3 VwQGSu

We are building plugins for the major CAD programs, free to use. Each one connects to your account, so a map you create here is ready to import inside the program you work in. The Archicad plugin is in private testing. The rest are planned, and every map also comes in documented open formats.

Customize before import, or take the simple route and import with a single click.

Step 1

Create your map

Draw your site as a rectangle or polygon in the map picker. The price shows immediately, and the map builds in minutes. What you draw is what you get.

Step 2

Import with plugin

For invited Archicad testers, the private-test plugin reads the map's documented origin and coordinate reference. Everyone else receives the same georeference in the open delivery files.

Context is king

Every map is assembled from approved elevation, building, road and water sources, with national parcel data where it is available. Each layer keeps its own source and quality record.

Take a look at our data sources
01 | Terrain

Editable 3D terrain

The national height model as a terrain mesh you can actually edit, with contour lines included.

02 | Parcels

Property boundaries

Cadastral parcel boundaries with title numbers centred on each parcel.

03 | Buildings

Buildings with useful heights

Building footprints become separate context objects. Heights come from surface models or documented source attributes.

04 | Context

Georeferenced

The coordinate grid, local origin and survey point are already set when you open the file.

Every file format you need

IFC 4DXFGPKG GeoTIFFPDF

Private-test native import for invited Archicad users, open and documented formats for every delivery. Every map includes the full layered source data, not a flattened export.

Details

Georeferenced

Correct zone, height datum, local origin and survey point. The coordinate pipeline is checked against independent references, while each source keeps its own stated quality.

Country-specific content

Each country uses an approved mix of elevation, building, road and water sources, with parcel data where available. Source, quality and licence follow every delivered layer.

Layered CAD content generated from national registries

Optimized terrain

All sources are tuned for both precision and weight, so your model stays fast: a real terrain mesh you can edit, not a heavy point-cloud dump.

FAQ

Got more questions?
What exactly is in a map?

Editable 3D terrain with contours, buildings, roads, water, parcel boundaries where available and a full georeference frame, delivered in open formats (IFC, DXF, GPKG). Invited Archicad testers can also use the private-test import.

Which CAD programs are supported?

The Archicad plugin is in private testing. Other native plugins are planned; documented open formats can already be used in the relevant CAD and GIS applications.

How accurate is the data?

Quality varies by source and area. Every delivered layer records its source, quality profile and licence so you can judge whether it fits the project.

Where does the data come from?

Approved open elevation, building, road and water sources, plus national parcel services where available. See the data sources page.
