Other formats available

3D Full Modeling

3D Full Modeling Sample Image 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)
