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

🏠 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

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

5. Frame choice

🎨 Map color

Single color for your map (included). For multiple per-element colors, enable "Colored map" below.

6. Splitting for printing

Only relevant if you print the model: large formats are split into interlocking tiles (built-in connectors). For a render or animation, keep it as a single piece.

7. Options

Include buildings

Buildings will be modeled in 3D relief on your map.

⚠️ 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

Maison evidence

Votre adresse mise en évidence avec couleur

Point repere

Ajout d'un point de repère coloré

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).

Relief bord plat

Colore le bord du modèle par une ligne nette horizontale (sans cadre uniquement ; hauteur réglable).

GPX track

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

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).

Relief regroupement

Regroupe les petits pics rapprochés en massifs plus lisibles (intensité réglable).

Roofs on buildings

Adds sloped roofs to buildings (instead of flat tops)

✨ 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).
