Using MapBrowser you can export (download) all Nearmap 3D Products , and then use the content in third-party applications (see INTEGRATIONS ).
To export 3D content, you must have a subscription with 3D export permissions (which your account administrator can provide you) with available export credits.
1. Exporting 3D content
Click Export and select 3D from the drop-down menu.
2. Selecting a capture
Select the capture in order to proceed. This is a combination of the capture region and the month and year of the first survey in the capture.
3. Selecting a projection
A range of projections is available relative to the geographical area currently visible in MapBrowser.
Default projections
A default projection, which is relevant for the area being viewed and which reflects country standards, will be selected automatically. Country defaults are as follows:
- US – NAD83/UTM + NAVD88
- AU – GDA2020/MGA + AHD
- CA – NAD83(CSRS)/UTM + CGVD2013
If you are not sure which projection to use, go with the default.
4. Selecting the types and formats
Select the types and formats of the content that you want to export. The available content types and file formats are listed above. You can select up to four content types and any number of available formats available per content type for your selected export projection.
If you've selected more than one content type, "Multi" is indicated in the dropdown.
Projections with Limited content types and format
There are some projections which are specific and limited to one content type and format. These are:
| Projection | Content Type | Format |
|---|---|---|
| ECEF | Textured Mesh | Cesium 3D Tiles |
| WGS84/Geodetic + EGM96 | Textured Mesh | SLPK |
Similarly, when you select a projection other than ECEF or WGS84/Geodetic + EGM96, and you select Cesium or SLPK as one of the formats, they will be exported in ECEF and WGS84/Geodetic + EGM96 projections. This is reflected in the Export panel.
5. Defining the export area
There are two ways to define your export area:
a. Draw the area you wish to export.
The area can be any shape of polygon, it
6. Performing the export
Export file contents
Nearmap 3D content is delivered in a zip file. The zip file's contents are the same whether you receive Nearmap's 3D content via offline channels, or via the 3D Export function in MapBrowser.
