Use your prepared map

Choose a plugin or the right file format for your software.

  1. Open the map

    Go to My maps and open the prepared map. Choose Use your map. If the build is still running, keep the map and wait for its actual ready state.

  2. Choose the import route

    For native Archicad import, use the Archicad plugin. For another program, choose a file format it supports. A Coming plugin is not an available installer.

  3. Set placement for the project

    Where the format offers placement or coordinate settings, choose them to match your project. A local origin keeps working coordinates manageable; global coordinates preserve grid values. See Coordinates & placement for the distinction.

  4. Download and check the result

    Download the selected format and open it in your software. Check scale, position and height against a reference you trust before using the model as project context.

Which format should I choose?

NeedStart with
BIM site contextIFC, or a native plugin when available
Layered 2D drawingsDXF
GIS layers and provenanceGeoPackage
Textured mesh in a 3D toolOBJ or GLB, where offered
Elevation rasterGeoTIFF, where offered

Check your software’s importer and the choices shown for your map. A format can support a capability without every importer interpreting it the same way. The map’s download dialog shows what is available for that delivery.
