3D Building Models
Accurate geo-registered 3D “block-style” building models that provide users with block geometry and elevations. These building models are currently available through the Sanborn CitySets® product line and can be produced for new areas. Sanborn standard building models are featured for 40 major US cities within Google Earth.

- Multiple building roof elevations captured every 33 feet or greater
- Standard building models can also be generic or photo-real textured
- Common output model formats:
- ESRI z-shapefiles, Google KML, AutoCAD (.dwg/.dxf), SketchUp (.skp), Openflight (.flt)
- Other formats available
3D Full Modeling
Sanborn can integrate high resolution orthoimagery, 3D premium buildings, 3D standard buildings, and texturing to offer customers a final 3D full model output. The result is a fully functional 3D building model in common formats that can be imported into a number of 3D visualization applications.
- Accurate geo-registered (x, y, z) full model
- Integrate aerial imagery or satellite imagery with fully textured 3D premium or standard buildings
- Common output models:
- SketchUp (.skp), Open Scene Graph (.ive)
