3D MapViewer

Note: 3D MapViewer may require a MetroMap 3D subscription for full functionality. Speak to our team to subscribe to 3D.

Aerometrex are global leaders in high resolution 3D modelling with the ability to capture from the air (fixed-wing aircraft / helicopter) and the ground. If you have access to MetroMap 3D MapViewer, you shall be able to view and perform basic measurements within the MetroMap web app. For full access of MetroMap 3D models (downloadable 3D formats that can be ingested into your 3D package of choice), you will need to subscribe to a MetroMap 3D package or buy the area of interest through the MetroMap Store.

How can you navigate within a 3D model?
Using the 3D button on the left panel you can see a list of the 3D city models available within the 3D MapViewer. Double clicking (left mouse key) on any of the cities shall zoom you in to that model. You can also navigate to a city or location on the map using the search bar at the top
Navigating within the model is simple and like the 2D map, with minor differences; for ease of navigation, use a mouse or touch screen:

• Pan View (move around map) – hold down left mouse key and drag
• Zoom View (zoom in & out of map) – using scroll wheel or hold down right mouse key and drag. Use pinch-to-zoom for touch screens (tablets & mobiles)
• Rotate View (rotate 360 degrees within map) – hold down scroll wheel and drag or two finger navigation on touch screens

What basic measurements can you perform within MetroMap 3D MapViewer?
Within MetroMap 3D MapViewer, users can perform the below outlined basic measurements. All points are selected using the left mouse key and lines drawn by dragging the mouse.

• Distance – calculates distance between any two points in the 3D plane (xyz)
• Component Distance – provides distance between two points in the 3D plane (xyz) including direct line of sight distance, vertical & horizontal distance, and the angles formed between them
• Polyline Distance – like the “Distance” tool but allows you to draw continuous poly lines in the 3D plane (xyz) with multiple vertices
• Horizontal Distance – provides the horizontal distance in the 2D plane (xy) between multiple points
• Vertical Distance – provides the vertical distance (z) between two points selected
• Height from Terrain – provides the height of any point selected from the ground (z)
• Area – calculates area within a closed surface drawn in the 3D plane (xyz); to close the polygon double click the left mouse key
• Coordinate Marker – this tool allows you to point to any location and obtain its lat, long coordinates as well as height & slope (to ground)

Note: Detailed navigating & measuring instructions are also available via the two help buttons at the top (question mark icon)
