Click on copy in the area selection on your browser and click on paste icon in Blender to paste the coordinates, then you can click on import

Thank you, had to press 'n' to find that little tab

Almost like ASMR for me.

Hi! Great tutorial. Why do I get the same 3d city as yours and not where I specified?

The area i want to model doesnt have OSM building data. Can this addon use google map data to gather building data?

[@minhhoangho8767]

Greate tutorial, you save my day! How to export this map to file and import to GQIS? Thank you so much

[@JamesBrett2008]

How does this compare to Blender GIS? I didnt realise they were 2 different plug ins.

Blender GIS and BLOSM are both tools used with Blender, but they serve different purposes: Blender GIS: Blender GIS is an addon for Blender that brings the functionality of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) into Blender. It allows users to import geospatial data such as satellite imagery, terrain data, and shapefiles directly into Blender. With Blender GIS, users can visualize and manipulate geospatial data within the Blender environment, making it useful for tasks such as terrain modeling, urban planning, and environmental visualization. BLOSM (Blender OpenStreetMap): BLOSM is another addon for Blender that focuses specifically on importing OpenStreetMap (OSM) data into Blender. OpenStreetMap is a collaborative mapping project that provides free, editable maps of the world. BLOSM allows users to import OSM data directly into Blender, including features such as roads, buildings, and other geographic elements. This addon is particularly useful for architectural visualization, city modeling, and other projects where detailed urban environments are needed.

Help it imports more then necesery the roads are longer etc. how to fix that it only imports the selected square and not more

[@blenderburbax]

usually if you import the terrain first that will solve it, but sometimes there may be some extensions but not too much, you can edit them as any other model

[@axellrosinia9392]

how do you export the buildings after everything is done? can you port it to arcsene?

[@blenderburbax]

You can export it...File>Export>file types, you can export it in stl or fbx format

[@seenu55]

[@blenderburbax]

no, it's not possible, but you can resize the selection rectangle to best match your coordinates

[@ZakariaKhaldi]

you didn't show how to install it from scratch

[@faridmohdismail31]

if i export as GLB will all the building show?

[@blenderburbax]

I will look into it, there should be a way to export it

[@blenderburbax]

Yes, of course you can export it as GLB format, and all the buildings can be exported, if you face any issues let me know
