Look at the model from the bottom and check to see if you can see any blue triangles.Click the left side of the box next to the Z Cut Plane slider, this will hide anything below the cut plane.
Change “Shift” to 100mm (positive or negative, whichever way extrudes it away from the buildings).Click the “Extrude Surfaces” tool and make sure the “3D-Extrude” tab is selected and “Smooth” and “Thickening” options are selected as well.Use the surface selection tool to select the land below all the buildings.Select the city section that you want to keep and open up the repair tool.Using the plane cut sliders, remove the features that extend past the part of your city that you want to keep, like the highways and jagged edges where the map ends.You need to delete some of the artifacts from the scenery that couldn’t be translated properly and make the finished mesh printable.
Open up Netfabb and import the Obj file.At this point you wouldn’t want to print it either this model will need quite a bit of cleanup. From OSM2World, you can export an Obj file, which some slicers can’t interact with and will need conversion.After a minute or so, you should see a 3D model of your city. Once installed, open OSM2World and import the map.osm file you exported already.This will utilize the data within Google Maps to create 3D models of the area seen in the viewport. Go to and find the location that you want to 3D print.I wanted to start off with something that was a recognizable landscape or held some significance for MatterHackers, so I’ll use New York City, specifically the area around the Empire State Building and some portion of Downtown Los Angeles. I was able to find a couple of different methods, both free and paid for that worked okay, but the best I could find for my purposes was using a series of different programs to convert data from Google Maps.
