3D city models

Real cities.
Real geometry.

These previews come straight from the dataset you'd export to your own tool. Switch a city, then grab the model in your format of choice.

Enterprise-grade essentials

Two things that change how site context works.

Cityweft exports aren't just geometry — they carry real location and rich metadata, so they slot into your workflow instead of fighting it.

Drop it into your tool — it's already in place.

Every export carries real-world coordinates and true north. No transforms, no manual georeferencing — just open the file and your model lands at the right spot on the globe.

  • Real-world WGS84 coordinates baked in
  • True north preserved across every export
  • Aligns 1:1 with site surveys and cadastres

Sub-meter topography

Terrain at the resolution architects need.

Where survey-grade DEMs exist, we use them — Switzerland at 25 cm, Denmark at 40 cm, France and the UK at 1 m. Everywhere else, a global baseline keeps your site grounded.

  • Premium DEMs in 13+ countries — up to 25 cm
  • Smooth meshes ready for shadow + slope analysis
  • Global baseline so no project lands without terrain
