01 / The site map
Terrain, buildings
and site context.
Get a site map for your project area, organised into terrain, buildings, roads, water and vegetation layers. Explore the 3D model and switch on property boundaries below.
Create your site model in three steps.
01Define your area
Find your project location and draw the area to include.
02Generate your model
Select terrain, buildings and the other map layers your project needs.
03Refine and export
Choose your file formats, then open the site map in your design software.
02 / Data quality
Detailed site data.
Ready for your project.
From LiDAR and national mapping to usable models and drawings.
Estimate tree positions, heights and crown sizes from laser-derived surface data.
Combine national mapping with global datasets, choosing sources for each country and map layer.
Use detailed elevation data to model slopes, ground levels and contour lines.
Add mapped boundary lines to your CAD drawings. Availability varies by location.
Use in your own projects and with project partners. Source licences and credits apply.
Lean geometry, controlled precision and useful file metadata — with smaller files and faster exports as the goal.
03 / Software & exports
From site data to your design tools.
Import directly with a plugin, or download the file formats your project needs.

07 / FAQ
Questions about
GeoAnvil maps.
What is included in a GeoAnvil site map?
The selected geometry, drawings or GIS files, organised by layer. The delivery also records its sources, attribution and coordinate reference information.
How does map detail vary by location?
Detail follows the available source data. Building geometry, vegetation and terrain resolution can vary between areas. Review the source information for your site when you choose the delivery.
Which software and file formats can I use?
Use a GeoAnvil plugin in your BIM or CAD software, or export files such as IFC, DXF, OBJ, GLB and GeoPackage. The format directory above shows options for CAD, 3D visualisation and GIS.
Can I choose my own map area?
Yes. Draw the boundary around your project and its surroundings. You choose how much context to include; the price and delivery are based on that area.
Where can I find the map data sources?
Sources and coordinate references are recorded with the map delivery. Source attribution and any applicable reuse conditions accompany the files.
Will a local origin keep my model georeferenced?
Yes. A local origin changes the coordinates you work with, while the site map retains its geographic reference. Choose a local, site or custom origin to suit your project.
