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 · 5,000,000 ≈ a country · the higher the value, the larger the area covered, up to the whole world

🌍 The whole world

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 public data (IGN LiDAR scan or OpenStreetMap).

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

Colored map

Adds colors to the topography

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 edge

Softens the model edge into a rounded profile all the way round (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

Your address highlighted in colour

Landmark

Adds a coloured landmark

Text on the map

Village names taken from the map (move, correct, add to them) or free text, painted on the piece

✨ Highlight an element

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

🔤 Text on the map

The names of the villages in your area are added automatically. Drag them on the map to place them (the original point often falls in the town centre), fix the spelling, delete them or add your own text. Labels are shown at their real size on the piece.
