About Level 2 3D Models of London
Latest Source Aerial Imagery
The Level 2 Medium Detail 3D Model is manually captured using stereo photogrammetry. The source photography and its associated data is from the latest high-res 12.5cm GSD imagery collected in September 2016. This gives the user the confidence that the most recent additions to the London skyline are included in the 3D model.
Accurately Captured Buildings
The Level 2 3D Model is accurate to 50 cm in all axis. All roofs features and structures are manually captured with correct shapes and slopes of all main roof features. The 3D Buildings models are light & low poly and displaying of the entire dataset is possible on standard PCs. Vertical walls of buildings in our Level 2 3D models are made as downwards extensions of roof structures. If more detail or accuracy is required, please see our Level 3 Models.
Accurately Captured Terrain
The terrain in the Level 2 3D Model of London is not flat. It is manually captured using the same manual photogrammetry method as buildings and is accurate to 20cm in all axis at curb level.
Terrain is separated into land use categories such as roads, man-made surfaces, greenspaces and water body.
3D data structured in Layers
3D Models of London in Level 2 are structured in Layers. Level 2 Buildings are on one layer, terrain model is separated in layers such as Roads, Man-made surfaces, Greenspaces and Water body, but also Bridges, Embankment Walls and River Structures. Last layer in this dataset is the Trees layer.
Variety of File formats
Level 2 3D models are delivered in AutoCad Solid DWG, SketchUp SKP and Filmbox FBX formats for easy editing that suits most workflows. The 3D Model is easy to import into Revit, 3D Studio Max, Maya or Cinema 4D.
Company-wide Multi-use Licence
We put as few restrictions on how you can use our 3D models as possible. Our End User Licence Agreement is easy to understand and allows anybody in your company to use the data over and over again for 5 full years.
Central London Level 2 Tiles
Available for sites anywhere within Central London 40 km2, Level 2 Medium Detail 3D Models of London in OS Tiles offer affordable & modular 3D models of London with fast delivery. Captured from the latest 2016 High-Res imagery, Level 2 London Tiles are accurate to 50 cm in all axis.
Fast Same-Day Delivery
Our library of Central London Level 2 models in 500 x 500 meter Tiles allows us to deliver 3D Models on the same day as ordered. Applies to all tiles within Central London (see map) in AutoCAD Solid, FBX or SketchUp formats.
Great Value for Money
The unique Tile structure in combination with efficient production means that our Level 2 Central London Models are 50% cheaper than Level 3 3D Models.
0.25 km2 Tile: £250 + VAT
1 km2 Model (4 Tiles): £1,000 + VAT
Easy to Use and Upgrade
The files are structured in 500 x 500m (0.25 km2 OS Tiles, allowing for easy editing of the areas you would like to work on without loading the entire model. It also allows for easy replacement of an area with higher detail / higher accuracy models, whether bought from us or from your measured survey.
3D Print ready
The Level 2 3D Model is made with 3D printing in mind. Files are easy to print using most office and professional 3D Printers. Because the 3D Model is structured in tiles, you can easily build larger models using printers with smaller build volume.
Custom Level 2 3D Models
Level 2 Custom 3D Models of London can be produced for sites anywhere withing M25. Ideal for areas outside of Central London or for Central London areas which fall between tiles. Rapidly captured to order from 2016 High-Res imagery, Custom Level 2 models are accurate to 50 cm in all axis.
