How does it work?

Discover the power of the 3D GeoViewer and take advantage of its many benefits — starting now! We are happy to explain how it works. 

The first step

3d-geoviewer-mogelijkhedenWhen you log in, click in the search bar at the top of the screen to find the desired location. The 3D GeoViewer will take you directly to that location. With the various interface buttons, you can perform operations, add bookmarks, and upload your own 3D model.

Don't have a 3D model yet? Use a number of sample models — for example, to conduct a shadow analysis. If you are looking for a model of a specific building, we can develop that for you.

WHAT REQUIREMENTS SHOULD THE FILES MEET?

The 3D Geoviewer currently accepts the following file formats:

  • Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) file format developed by buildingSMART®
  • FBX proprietary file format from Autodesk
  • SKP file format from SketchUp
Read about the requirements that the 3D GeoViewer sets for the content of your files.

WHY ISN’T MY DESIGN IN THE RIGHT LOCATION?

Every design that you offer to the 3D GeoViewer must have a correct geo location. This means that the coordinates of your design are stored in the file.

Read the blog here for tips and techniques on how to provide the correct coordinates to your design.

WHY IS MY IFC MODEL EXPORTED FROM SKETCHUP NOT THE CORRECT GEO LOCATION?

As can be read here, an IFC model must be provided with the IfcSite entity to give the design the right place on earth. In SketchUp Pro it is possible to export a model to IFC. However, the exported IFC model does not have the IfcSite entity in that case. As a result, it is not possible to determine the location of the model. However, the IFC Manager offers a solution! This is an extension within SketchUp Pro and is free to download. All you have to do is create an IfcSite entity from your "Location Snapshot" or "Location Terrain."
