Features

3D terrain model export

TOPOLUMA builds a 3D model of the ground and the buildings on it, ready for Rhino, SketchUp, Blender, a BIM model or a 3D printer.

Try it in the studio How it works

What you get

OBJ
Terrain, buildings and trees as named objects, Z-up or Y-up, in metres.
STL for printing
A watertight solid with a base, scaled to the print width you choose, with vertical exaggeration.
IFC 4
IfcSite with triangulated terrain and extruded buildings, with a map conversion to UTM.
DXF 3D
3D faces for CAD programs.

How to do it

  1. Draw the area and generate.
  2. In Export, choose OBJ, STL, IFC or DXF 3D.
  3. For STL, set the print width.
  4. Download and open in your 3D software or slicer.

Limits to know

The terrain follows global elevation data (about 30 m in most places), so small features of the ground are smoothed; buildings are extruded footprints with mapped or default heights. More on the data and accuracy page.
