New Load buildings, roads and other data from OpenStreetMap.
A simple way to get realistic urban environments.
Create terrain everywhere, up to 50 km x 50 km (2500 km²)
Terrains are built with Nasa 1 arc second STRM data or Google Elevation data*
Beta Build high resolution terrains from Google elevation data.
Export your 3D terrains to other software (ascii, csv and DXF formats ).
Get the mean altitude horizontal plane, mean tilted plane in one click.
Create interpolated terrains.
Get 3D buildings, roads and other OpenStreetMap data on your terrain (© Open street map contributors).

OpenStreetMap API limits the amount of requested data: You may have to divide the terrain into smaller pieces.
Google elevation data:Link to Googe elevation data Google API requests are subjected to daily quota. This may results to terrain temporary unavailability.
NASA SRTM data:
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), 2013, NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission United States 1 arc second. Version 3. NASA EOSDIS Land Processes DAAC, USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center, Sioux Falls, South Dakota. https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/ https://e4ftl01.cr.usgs.gov/SRTM/
SRTM successfully collected radar data over 80% of the Earth's land surface between 60° north and 56° south latitude.
New Select a map style (terrain, roadmap, satellite) and combine it with SketchUp styles (smoothed, transparent, shadows ...).
Save your terrain as ascii, csv or 3D DXF file (AutoCAD)...
Download DXF file and open it in AutoCAD or DWG TrueView:
