Avila Beach, live in GeoFrame

This is GeoFrame.
Every frame, the real place.

A measured 3D model of any neighborhood, built from LiDAR, footprints, streets, trees and water. Fly it, study massing, set the sun and share it, all in a browser.

HOW GEOFRAME WORKS

Pick a square of the map.
Get it back as real 3D topography.

You choose the ground; GeoFrame does the modelling. It turns the square you select into a measured 3D model of the terrain and everything standing on it, built from public data with nothing traced by hand.

  1. 01

    Pick a square

    Drag a square on the map anywhere the public data reaches, from 500 m to 2 km a side. Ask for up to 64 of them, 256 km², in one request.

  2. 02

    GeoFrame builds the topography

    USGS LiDAR becomes real terrain: hills, valleys, creeks and coastline. Buildings rise to their measured heights, with streets, trees and water laid on top.

  3. 03

    Explore and export it

    Fly over it, drop to street level, turn the sun and measure, all in the browser. Bring in your own CAD in 10 formats, and export images, video or a .glb model.

WATCH A DISTRICT GET MADE

From a square on the map to a district you can explore and edit

GeoFrame's district builder: a satellite map of San Luis Obispo with a square being dragged over downtown
01Select an area on the map Drag a square over any neighborhood on the satellite map. Each side snaps to whole 16 m lots, from 500 m up to 2 km.
The finished Cal Poly district as a 3D tile: hills, campus buildings, streets and trees
02GeoFrame builds it in 3D Your square comes back as a 3D district: LiDAR terrain, every building at its measured height, with streets, trees and water.
A selected dormitory in the 3D district with a panel listing its height, stories, owner, parcel number, lot size and coordinates
03Get a ton of info about it Click any building for its measured height, stories, owner, parcel number, lot size and coordinates, with layers for zoning, traffic and tide.
The Make a building panel open over the district, with width, depth, height and rotation controls and a Place here button
04Edit it Add or change buildings right in the district: start from one that's there, set its width, depth and height, turn it to the street and place it.

What you can do

Draw a boundary.
Get the block, the street, the sun.

01 / Build

From a rectangle to a district.

Drag a rectangle anywhere the public data reaches, 500 m to 2 km a side. GeoFrame pulls USGS LiDAR terrain and heights, footprints, streets, tree canopy, water and parcels.

GeoFrame time-of-day control over Cal Poly
02 / Study

Any hour of the day.

Scrub from morning to dusk and watch real shadows fall across real terrain. Measure, compare and save the view.

03 / Create

Rough it out in minutes.

Place massing by width, depth and floors, draw freehand footprints, or bring DXF, DWG, IFC, OBJ and seven more formats.

Send us an address.
We'll reveal the block.
