Detailed instructions for loading 3D content are given below.

Exporting content from MapBrowser

1. In MapBrowser, click Export.
2. Select your area of interest, Export type as Georeferenced image, Projection system and the Resolution of the output image. 
3. As soon as the download is ready, click the filename to download the files to your local disk.

Loading content into OpenRoads Designer

To load content exported from MapBrowser: 

1. Launch OpenRoads Designer.
2. Click to set the coordinate system in your OpenRoads 3D workspace.
   
   
   
   
3. Click the  Terrain tab, and select  From File. 
   
   
   
   
4. Locate the downloaded file(s) and select the files to import.
