GEOFRAME DOCUMENTATION
How GeoFrame works.
Pick a square of the map, get it back as a measured 3D district, then study it, edit it and share it. Everything you need to know, from your first district to running GeoFrame on your own server.
QUICK START
- 01
Pick a square
Drag a square on the map, 500 m to 2 km a side. Up to 64 of them, 256 km², in one request.
- 02
GeoFrame builds it
LiDAR terrain, buildings at measured heights, streets, trees, water and county parcels, from public data.
- 03
Study, edit, share
Turn the sun, measure, place massing or import CAD from 10 formats, export pictures, video or .glb, and share a named map.
