GeoFrame / the place and the plan, side by side

See the place.
Shape the plan.

GeoFrame builds a measured 3D model of any neighborhood from LiDAR, footprints, streets, trees and water, then puts your project in it. All in a browser.

HOW GEOFRAME WORKS

Pick a square of the map.
Get it back as real 3D topography.

You choose the ground; GeoFrame does the modelling. It turns the square you select into a measured 3D model of the terrain and everything standing on it, built from public data with nothing traced by hand.

  1. 01

    Pick a square

    Drag a square on the map anywhere the public data reaches, from 500 m to 2 km a side. Ask for up to 64 of them, 256 km², in one request.

  2. 02

    GeoFrame builds the topography

    USGS LiDAR becomes real terrain: hills, valleys, creeks and coastline. Buildings rise to their measured heights, with streets, trees and water laid on top.

  3. 03

    Explore and export it

    Fly over it, drop to street level, turn the sun and measure, all in the browser. Bring in your own CAD in 10 formats, and export images, video or a .glb model.

WATCH A DISTRICT GET MADE

From a square on the map to a district you can explore and edit

GeoFrame's district builder: a satellite map of San Luis Obispo with a square being dragged over downtown
01Select an area on the map Drag a square over any neighborhood on the satellite map. Each side snaps to whole 16 m lots, from 500 m up to 2 km.
The finished Cal Poly district as a 3D tile: hills, campus buildings, streets and trees
02GeoFrame builds it in 3D Your square comes back as a 3D district: LiDAR terrain, every building at its measured height, with streets, trees and water.
A selected dormitory in the 3D district with a panel listing its height, stories, owner, parcel number, lot size and coordinates
03Get a ton of info about it Click any building for its measured height, stories, owner, parcel number, lot size and coordinates, with layers for zoning, traffic and tide.
The Make a building panel open over the district, with width, depth, height and rotation controls and a Place here button
04Edit it Add or change buildings right in the district: start from one that's there, set its width, depth and height, turn it to the street and place it.

01 / Draw

Start with a rectangle.
Anywhere the data reaches.

Search an address or pan the map, then drag a district from 500 m to 2 km a side. GeoFrame snaps it to the street grid.

02 / Build

It builds from public data.
Measured, not modeled by hand.

USGS LiDAR terrain and heights, building footprints, streets, tree canopy, water and parcels, assembled into one model.

03 / Study

Any hour of the day.
Real shadows on real terrain.

Scrub from morning to dusk, measure, and check what a project does to its street before anyone draws a line.

04 / Create

Rough it out in minutes.
Massing in place.

Width, depth, floors and use, or the full 3D editor with roofs, work planes and snapping.

01 / Share

Five options, five maps.
The district as built never changes.

Your edits go into a named map. Share a link that opens straight into the scene for the client, the team or the public meeting.

02 / Present

Fly it in the room.
No installs, no plug-ins.

Desktop, iPad or phone. Every clip on this page is the app running live, not a render.

03 / Deploy

Hosted, or on your own server.
Your data stays yours.

Run GeoFrame on premises with a license for your own server, or let us host it for a team, a city or a whole agency.
