Create your 3D file

1. Map shape

2. Define your area

3. Choose your dimensions

These dimensions are the real model size (for printing). You can freely resize it in your software (slicer, render engine…).

4. Detail level

The radius adapts automatically to the size of your map

📍 Actual size of the captured area: ↕ height · ↔ width, at the chosen scale and dimensions.

🏠 Street & Neighbors

~0m

Ultra detail · My street, neighbors

🏘️ My Neighborhood ⭐ RECOMMENDED

~0m

Standard detail · Whole neighborhood

🏙️ Urban View

~0m

Large buildings · City center

🌆 City & Relief

~0m

Landmarks + relief · Entire city

⛰️ Landscape

~0m

Pure relief · Mountain, massif

🎚️ Other scale ~0m

Freely set the area covered

scale value

or by radius: m radius

500 ≈ my street · 10,000 ≈ landscape · the higher the value, the larger the area covered (max 200,000)

5. Frame choice

🎨 Single colour

A map in one single colour (included). No effect while "Colored map" is enabled below — there, each element gets its own colour.

6. Intended use & splitting

What do you intend the file for? This determines what you receive.

7. Options

Map & colors

Include buildings

Buildings in the area will stand out in relief, from official data (LiDAR scan or OpenStreetMap footprints).

⚠️ At this scale, buildings may hurt the legibility of the relief.

Colored map ?

Adds colors to the topography

High detail ?

Uses a finer nozzle for greater precision

Roofs on buildings ?

Adds sloped roofs to buildings (instead of flat tops)

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 ?

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

Snow on peaks ?

Adds snow above an adjustable altitude (once ticked).

Merge mountain ranges ?

Merges small nearby peaks into more legible ranges (intensity adjustable once ticked).

Tracks & highlights

GPX track ?

Renders an imported GPX route (hike, run…) in relief on the map.

Highlighted address ?

Votre adresse mise en évidence avec couleur

Landmark ?

✨ 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).
