Questions

How big an area can I export?

+

A 350 m ring is free. Larger rings come with a Maps plan or pay-as-you-go; Urbanaut imports areas up to 38 km² into Rhino and SketchUp.

Are building heights real?

+

Heights come from the map data where it has them, and from storeys where only those are mapped; the rest get a default you can see and change.
