HOW TO Create 3D SITE PLAN and TOPOGRAPHY MODEL in 1 SECONDE | CADMAPPER

hey friends hope you're fine and welcome to my channel today we want to work on a very useful and important tutorial we are often asked about this tutorial and the tutorial is about how to obtain 3D models of urban areas and where our project is located so we need three device of it today I want to teach you very quickly how you can get these files in a second so you need to go to the website catamapper.com in this website you can easily find these files and download them in a different uh ever different formats which I will explain later I'm working with the evidence really easy so well to start you just click on get to start creating a file a map appears with all the details usually navigate to the area you want and find your desired location or you can even uh use the search option for example I search for New York and it comes up with the location that I want and now you can easily select the desired area by moving and zooming in uh just one very important Point here is that this website is free but you need to take it into consideration that the area must be less than one square kilometer so that you can download the file for free if it is larger than this area for example currently around 7 or 7.2 kilometers it will show a price of uh five bucks or 10 bucks or it can be priced according to the dimension of the map but if it is less than one square kilometer you can download it completely for free so I zoom in and now you can see that it is three kilometers I assuming more and it becomes 1.3 kilometers and now you can either increase the area or zoom in a little more to see that it is now about one kilometer almost five kilometer so now I can download it for free in general this space we are working with is often enough to work with just one square kilometer and there is often no need for a larger area if you need more for example let's say two square kilometers you can download two files and put them together to use if not you have to pay and get the scale you want now I choose this same range and then from the left bar you can select the type of the file such as AutoCAD SketchUp illustrator Rhino archicad or SketchUp uh with a specific version or you can get the txf file I'm choosing the dxf file now the bottom selection section has two parts where you can select 3D buildings if available and the next section is topography which also include the topography into the file you can also put the Road geometry on the center lines option and to Center the lines and and okay now we almost finished the work and click on create file and here I show the preview of the area you selected it shows the area in 3D axonometry [Music] um and also uh uh like a 2d or simply topography I think it's okay uh and now I'm clicking on the uh download to start the download it's a very small file okay uh all right I downloaded the file I extracted the file and the file is a dxf file format now you can import the file into the software you're working with for example I import it into 3D Studio Max okay and you can see that the file is very suitable for urban areas with proper details so uh nice now I should work in a clay mode from the shading section so that you can see the details much better and it's really suitable for urban spaces it's really great now I add some materials to see it in real time I select the entire work and add materials and also I need to put a Dom light inside the work okay uh well now I open Vantage course advantage and uh okay I will wait to open the software okay I go to the live link section and click Start server and Link the file to Vantage so it's really fantastic now the work has been important into the Vantage system and you can easily see how many great details it has for example imagine you're designing in this area or any other areas and you can easily take that volume and replace it with your own volume and you will see that you can use these files very quickly and very well it's really great it's extraordinary just search for the desired area and download it the volumes are separate uh you can easily select move or even edit the volumes you want it's really great thank you very much for watching this tutorial and goodbye until the next tutorial foreign
