What is UrbanEyes Maps?
UrbanEyes Maps turns any address into a full set of site maps in about a minute. It draws the buildings, streets, land use, green space and terrain around your site from open map data, colours them into 20+ analysis maps, and exports them in 14 formats with clean layers, so you start designing instead of tracing.
Architects use it for site analysis and context models, planners for neighbourhood studies, and students for studio and thesis sites.

Figure ground
Built and open space, the grain of the city at a glance.
Building heights
Every building coloured by its height, from OpenStreetMap.
Building use
Housing, shops, workshops and civic buildings around the site.
Street hierarchy
Main roads to footpaths, drawn by how much they carry.
Green and open space
Parks, gardens and pitches within reach of the site.
Shadows
Where the neighbours throw shade on a winter afternoon.
Straight into your drawings.
One export gives you every format, at real-world scale, north up and on layers you can switch off and restyle.

Questions, answered
UrbanEyes Maps is a web app that makes site maps for architects, urban planners and students. Search any address and it draws 20+ maps of the site, including figure ground, building heights and use, street hierarchy, green space, sun and shadow, and the site in 3D, then exports them in 14 formats for AutoCAD, Rhino, SketchUp, Blender, QGIS and Google Earth.
Yes, for a site up to a 350 m radius, as often as you like, with PNG, PDF, GLB and AutoCAD (DWG and DXF). Larger areas, up to 38 km², and the other formats are a one-off export from €5 or part of a plan from €10 a month.
Buildings, streets, land use and green space come from OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps. Building heights come from the tagged height or number of floors and are estimated where neither is tagged. Terrain comes from open elevation data.
Search the address on UrbanEyes Maps and open Figure ground under Building Analysis. Download it as PNG or PDF, or as DWG or DXF to keep editing it in AutoCAD.
Yes. DWG and DXF keep separate layers for buildings, roads, water and green. Rhino (3DM) and SketchUp files bring the site in 3D at real heights, with terrain and trees.
Anywhere OpenStreetMap has mapped, which is almost every town and city in the world. Dense cities have the most detail; rural sites have fewer building heights.
Yes. Credit OpenStreetMap contributors on the drawing. Do not resell the raw exports as a data product.
