Your model, in its street.
Every layer still there.
Upload a Rhino, SketchUp, IFC, DXF, glTF or Revit model. It is placed in the real city with its names, layers, colours and materials, it replaces the building that stood on its plot, and when you export the same format you get your original file back, inside the city model. Your organisation's models, organised on one map, never lost.
Your upload, your scan and the city, in one model. Ready to export.
Everything on this page lives in the same Cityweft environment: the model you uploaded, the buildings reconstructed from your scan, and Cityweft Global around them. One project, one export, in the format your tool reads.

DXFand moreThirteen formats, read for what they carry.
Rhino 3DM
Meshes, Breps and extrusions as render meshes, nested blocks, the layer tree with colours, materials and transparency, object names, user text, and the Earth Anchor Point.
SketchUp SKP
Groups, components, materials and tags, read as they are, and the geolocation when the file has one.
IFC 2x3, 4 and 4x3
Elements with their classes, surface styles and storeys, placed by the map conversion or the site's coordinates and true north.
DXF
Meshes, 3D faces, polyfaces and block inserts, layer and true colours, the drawing's units and geodata.
glTF, GLB, OBJ, STL, PLY, DAE, FBX, 3MF
Node names and colours, units from the file where it declares them, Cityweft's own extras when the file was exported from Cityweft.
Revit RVT
Converted to IFC by Autodesk Platform Services first, then read like an IFC: elements, categories and colours. A Revit export of a project that includes the model is built into your own file.
Up to 2 million triangles per model. Textures and companion files travel with the upload and are kept with it.

Models — 3DM, SKP, IFC, DXF, glTF, OBJ, STL, FBX or 3MF with their textures, .bin or .mtl (up to 2 M triangles) — are processed and placed. Anything else — photos, PDFs, drawings — is pinned on the map.

A 3dm EarthAnchorPoint, an IFC map conversion or DXF geodata places the model by itself; you can move or turn it on the map afterwards.

3D model
The model as it was read from your file, with its parts and colours — the same geometry that goes into projects and exports.
Position
Placed from the file's own georeference (earthAnchor). Rotation 0.4° from north · 55.71024, 12.59612 · sits on the terrain
Notes
- No base elevation given — the model is placed on the terrain at its centroid in each project.
- Placed from the file's own georeference (earthAnchor).
My Data
Inside your scans, your buildings, terrain and trees replace Cityweft's.

From the file
A Rhino Earth Anchor Point, an IFC map conversion, DXF geodata or Cityweft's glTF extras place the model by themselves.
By a coordinate system
Name the projected system the file's coordinates are in, a national grid or a UTM zone, and the x and y are used as they are. No rotation, nothing to drag.
On the map
The model's real plan outline on the imagery: click where it belongs, drag it, turn it with a ring, snap to 90°. Exact values if you have them.
Heights are decided per project, not at upload: keep the file's own heights, set the model on the terrain, or give the ground level above sea level, the ±0.00 of the plans. Moving or turning a placed model re-runs only its placement, in seconds.
In replace mode the model takes the place of the Cityweft buildings under its footprint. It is never cut at the project boundary: your models are placed whole.
A SketchUp tower, an IFC condo and a Rhino block. One export.
Three uploads from three tools, each placed where it belongs and kept whole, exported together with the city around them.
- SketchUp Art Deco tower
- IFC 12-storey condo
- Rhino 34-building block
Export the same format, get your file back.
Your upload is stored byte for byte. When a project that includes it is exported in the same format family, the original file is embedded as itself, through the library the exporter writes with. Every other format receives a structured copy: the geometry with its part names, layers and flat colours.
Export Model
Configure your export and download.
All formats
Rhino
Native .3dm — a layered model with NURBS terrain and georeferencing.
Features
Settings
Centered on the site, no map grid. Choose one to line the file up with surveys, GIS data and your other exports.
Export Model
Configure your export and download.
All formats
SketchUp
Native .skp — tag-organised model with georeferencing.
Features
Settings
Set automatically — the model carries its real geographic location, so SketchUp's location-based features line up.

Not lost in a folder. On the map, for everyone.
Uploads made with an organisation active belong to the organisation. Every member sees them on the map, uses them in projects, exports with them and downloads the originals. The uploader and the organisation's admins change, re-run or delete them. Exports made by teammates embed the organisation's original files natively, and a note on each dataset tells everyone where the file comes from and what to watch out for.
- Every model of the firm, on one map, searchable
- Private to the workspace; nobody outside can see or use it
- Pooled storage on Small Business and Business

What arrives on the other side.
Rhino
Your 3DM comes back under a layer named after your dataset, with its own layer tree, colours, materials and user text, inside the Cityweft layers of the city around it.
Revit
Upload the RVT, and the export is built into that very file by Revit running in the cloud: the city arrives as masses, a Toposolid and site elements next to your own work.
SketchUp
Your SKP is loaded as a component with its groups, materials and tags, placed on its own tag next to the Cityweft groups.
IFC
Your elements are appended under a building named after your dataset, with their property sets, next to the city's proxies, slabs and geographic elements.
What people upload, and why.
A design in its real context
The Rhino or SketchUp model on its plot, the neighbourhood around it at country-model quality, exported together for the next review.
Rhino to Revit, without rebuilding
The concept lives in Rhino, the documentation in Revit. Upload the 3DM once, export the project as RVT or IFC, and the context comes with it.
The firm's model library
Every project model, placed where it was built, visible to the whole organisation, re-exportable in a format the next tool reads.
A survey DXF in the national grid
A surveyor's drawing in the local coordinate system is placed exactly by naming that system, no dragging and no rotation.
Options side by side
Massing variants uploaded as separate models, each replacing the building on the plot, compared on the same map.
Included on every plan. Sized by the plan.

- A scan counts its file size when a run starts. Models and pinned files never count as processing.
- In replace mode, the part of a project your own scan covers is not counted against the km² allowance. A project entirely inside your scan exports free.
- Free accounts upload and preview. Every subscription exports without limit.
Bring your first scan or model.
Upload once. It is on the map with every project that touches it, and in every export you make from there.
