3D Terrain Models

Digital Terrain Models View, measure and export prebuilt Digital Terrain Models in a 3D perspective anywhere in Great Britain using Skape. DTM's are available to export in Autodesk 3D Studio Max, AutoCAD DWG and DXF output. Details: Full GB-wide coverage of digital terrain is available at several resolutions and formats; 1 to 12 points per metre LiDAR derived DTM's and 5m resolution aerial photograph derived DTM's are available in both terrain mesh or point data formats. Uses: Export your terrain models on their own or overlay aerial photograph or street mapping with the 3D building objects of your choice in either block, roof detail or fully rendered formats. Benefits: Skape DTM's seamlessly import into your CAD software in the correct geographical location with correct height information. DTM's are free to view through Skape.
Digital Surface Models Digital surface models (DSMs) are topographic maps of the earth's surface that can be viewed in a 3D perspective over terrain models in Skape. DSM's are available to export in AutoCAD DWG and DXF formats. Details: Skape DSM's are all prebuilt and provide you with a geometrically correct reference frame over which other data layers can be draped. In addition to natural terrain features, Skape Digital Surface Model data includes buildings, vegetation and roads. Uses: Export cost effective DSM's from Skape to use in your existing CAD applications. Skape DSM's are suitable for creating 3D fly throughs or simulations and undertaking line of site analysis. Benefits: View in 3D and buy online through Skape to ensure greater degree of accuracy for your 3D topography and road mapping.
Contour vector data 5 metre interval vector data is available in Skape that can exported as AutoCAD DXF or ESRI Shapefile format. Details: Each contour represents a specific terrain height above sea level calculated every 5 metres on the ground. Uses: Extremely cost effective and flexible data set for producing lower resolution terrain models using your own CAD software. Benefits: You will soon be able to view Skape contours in a 3D perspective over terrain models through Skape but can export contour data now.
