Nice - Côte d’Azur

1. Map shape

2. Choose your dimensions

3. Finish

A matter of taste: same readability, same colours (stock permitting), same durability. Glossy is not a mirror.

Material

PLA suits almost everything; PETG handles heat better. "Heat" does not mean sunlight: for UV, PLA and PETG are equally vulnerable — our maps remain indoor objects.

4. Frame choice

5. Options

Map & colors

Colored map ?

Adds colors to the topography

High detail ?

Uses a finer nozzle for greater precision

Relief

No relief (flat ground) ?

Flattens the terrain: ideal for cities, buildings stand out on a flat base. Disables relief accentuation and target height.

Accentuate relief ?

Vertically exaggerates the terrain for a more pronounced relief (adjustable once ticked).

Round the corners ?

Rounds the model corners (no-frame only; radius adjustable once ticked).

Flat coloured edge ?

Colours the model edge with a clean horizontal line (no-frame only; height adjustable once ticked).

LiDAR HD relief included ?

High-definition relief and buildings from a LiDAR scan (covered areas of France; standard render elsewhere)

✨ Highlight an element

Select the elements to highlight directly on the map (track colour).

Box: click two corners to draw a rectangle around your house and isolate it from a large block of joined buildings. Only the part inside the box is highlighted.

Free outline: click several points around your house (right-click = undo last, ✔ or double-click = finish). More precise than the box for isolating an irregularly shaped house from a joined block.

The 3D pin is a small printed post (⌀ 4 mm); it shows as a dot in the preview.

Path/outline: left-click = add a point, right-click = remove the last, double-click (or “Finish”) = confirm. For a precise track, import a GPX file instead (option above).

💡 For 3D printing, an element that is too small will not be legible: prefer a fine enough scale. 3D pins are printed at a minimum size (⌀ 4 mm).
