How to create 3D models and diagrams in seconds - Cadmapper

[Music] welcome everyone today I want to show you cat Napper cat mapa is a free to use online service which transforms any place on earth into an usable 3d model and it includes buildings as well as the topography and 3d so let's go on cat map or calm and check it out to download maps you need to create an free account and on the landing page you can see what cat map is capable of and you can also see how it works it's really really easy you choose your location you change some options and then you just click and download it and down here you see 200 and plus free whole city files and now you ask yourself he said it's a free to use online service why are only 200 plus cities for free that's right but the online service works up to one square kilometer and the cities down here are way bigger than one square kilometer it's the whole metropolitan area but and it's big but it's only simplified two-dimensional DXF file and it just shows the route network so there are no buildings there's no 3d at all and you just have the middle lines of all the roads in the metropolitan area of these 200 big cities so don't expect too much of it otherwise we can download a 3d model by clicking on get started creating a file let's do it first of all we have to choose the area you do this on the right side and it seems that it automatically remembers with with last time I've downloaded something in New York City here and you can use the mouse wheel to zoom in and zoom out or you can type in anything here in the field search for a location also you can drag on the edges of this window here to scale up and down the download area and here you can see how big your download area will be up to one square kilometer it's for free if you're getting bigger can't map and will charge money for it the bigger it gets the more money they will charge up to 120 meters so I will sue in a little bit and I will stick here in New York City and I would go to one square kilometer that's what I wanted to download after you selected the area you have to start playing around with the options here calibre supports DWG for AutoCAD it supports two types of skp files for Sketchup and supports ai for illustrator 3d M for rhino and for anything else the XF I will stick here with Sketchup 2015 plus because I wanted to edit the 3d model in ArchiCAD afterwards and it works best with the Sketchup file and now we can choose if we want to include buildings and topography in the model I experience that the real building height are just working in really big cities like New York City here or Hong Kong or Moscow or something else and in most places you have to type in a failed site for the buildings I will go with 7 meters but I don't expect that there are fails height buildings in New York City here but in the village where I was born for example there is none real 3d buildings so 7 meters is a good value for this if you want to use the 3d topography you can also set the distance between the contour lines here in some places 4 meters was the minimum I think in New York one meter works it's highly depending on the location that's what I experienced last but not least we have the roads you can choose between having them as single lines centre lines wife's outlines or as mesh surfaces or you have a 3d mesh and I will go with mesh surfaces and afterwards you have to type in some values for different types of roads so the map knows which road is a highway a major road a minor road and a path and I experience that these values 1596 and form work quite good I think it's also depending on the location but you can start with it and afterwards you can see if it's good or not and then you make a little change so if you're finished with all the edits you can just click on create file and you will see ah ok you won't see anything it just says minimum contour interval is 4 meters so we will stick with 5 meters because 4 meters is really unusual create file and it will create preview 3d model on the right side [Music] and this is how it will look like spoiler alert the colors won't be there in the Sketchup model it will all be some greyish white tone but we have some really big buildings and I think all the buildings have their real height and none of them this failed so just download it and it will come as a zip file and I can go into my download folder extracted here and there we have the skp model I don't have Sketchup on this computer so it's blank white but I have ArchiCAD in open new file and I just drag and drop it into ArchiCAD into the floor plan and it also asks if you want to keep the geo reference or if you want to ignore it I will ignore it in this case so it won't be too far away from my point of origin and haqiqa [Music] and there we have the one square kilometer of New York City and it looks like this in the 3d really good quality and it's really really really quick if we wanted to make changes in hockey card we have to select everything right-click it convert everything into Wharf [Music] [Music] now we can change colors we can delete some stuff whatever and I will do some really big that was a really quick diagram in ArchiCAD of this type of model here of this type of area which I just downloaded and you will see it in the video and yeah that's all cat Napper I think is really really really good and useful service and it will save a lot of time building for example your urban development project or the surrounding of your building especially if you have a really difficult plot with a lot of height differences or if you're into urban development and you know let me know in the comments what did what you think of cat mapper if you will use it from now on if you knew it before if it's the first time you see cat mapper somewhere and I hope you think so too and you can use cat Napper to make your life a little bit easier and as always have a great day and stay creative [Music] [Music] you [Music] you
