Basic Detail 3D Models

The GeoInformation Group has taken the recent UKMap topographic detail layer and combined it with additional datasets to create the UKMap 3D Data Bundle in DWG format for use in CAD applications.

In addition to the 1:1000 UKMap Detail mapping layer, the UKMap 3D Data Bundle also combines LiDAR derived height data to extrude buildings to their appropriate heights creating a basic building block 3D model. A DTM resolved at 5m postings displayed as a TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network) and Contours at 0.5m intervals have also been included in order to provide further terrain detail.

Applications

UKMap 3D Data Bundle allows you to create real life environments, adding your own buildings which will then allow you to:

Assess and analyse various features within your site
Identify the impact of a chosen development
Create impactful and memorable presentations
Enhance the quality of your planning applications
Increase your sales and marketing activity
Promote your key developments and projects

Key Features within CAD

Each building sits at its relevant height in model space
Every building has been extruded to the highest value for the building footprint derived from the aerial and LiDAR survey
Building height values are displayed on each building to provide a quick and easy reference
The TIN or Triangulated Irregular Network surface provided moves away from the traditional point cloud datasets to provide a good level of context whilst keeping the file sizes within useable limits
UKMap 3D Data Bundle provides 77 individual layers derived from the classification codes in the source data
A number of pre-set filters are applied to the layers in the UKMap 3D Data Bundle to sort them into manageable groupings containing similar features
Filters can be turned on/off, frozen/thawed, locked/unlocked, isolated and made visible/invisible as required
