- Today I show you how to 3D print a city just from free LiDAR data you can find online. This is good if you want to have a model of an area or just have a physical place in your hand.
LAStools: rapidlasso.com/lastools/
Python 2: www.python.org/downloads/wind...
LidarTile: github.com/andrewgodwin/lidar...
Displaz: github.com/c42f/displaz/releases
USGS Map: viewer.nationalmap.gov/basic/

This helped so much! Thank you :D
No problem! Glad it helped!
Thanks for the video! I was able to get an .stl file that somewhat resembled my city.
Does anyone here have any idea why changing the divisor (-d) option in the lidartile.cli tool to anything but the number 1 generates the error "Non-exact divisor"? It's causing all of my buildings/trees to look like pointy castles.
very nice!

Thank you! :D
Have you figured out a simply way to improve the final quality of the stl? Great video btw
Sadly not but I am looking into how Microsoft Flight Simulator did their buildings. They seem to have made a better way to make models from maps.
@@potatotech7378 If you do, could you please get back to me, I am really interested!
@@aidenmccomiskey183 will do!
I found this video and it works! (For one building) czcams.com/video/F_XsmoZJmG8/video.html The only problem is that it makes no base and can't be printed since there is no base. It's not as simple as adding a bottom block since there is terrain gradients.
Hey, a great resource is touch-mapper.org It's for those with visual impairments, but it output STL or .svg vector graphics if you'd rather choose which parts to raise by how far.
Whenever I try to run that last line in the cmd it says "Python was not found", how should I fix this?
That happened to me when I failed to get the environment variable path to add python. I clicked in the top window, but I couldn't push "edit" in the bottom path portion. So, I just clicked "edit" in the top path and hit OK. Turns out you really need to add the python directory in the bottom path. I don't know why, but the second attempt I made allowed me to edit the bottom path button (unlike the first attempt). Good luck!
I can only get DSM files of my area, would these work?
hello, i don't understand why LAStools is not working for me : when I want to generate my asc file, I obtain an empty file (with a size of 0 ko and nothing inside ...) could you help me please?
I have the same issue ! I don't see any error messages in the cmd but the generated files is completly empty.
I know things work when they don't work, but could you help me too ?
You have to continue waiting. Or keep trying again. Only when you see a .prj file pop up will the ASC file become populated- the las2dem is suuuuper buggy like that.
if its actually possible...
is it possible to build it underground?!
I don't think it's possible
oof but its super cool what 3d printing has got nowdays now you can print a mansion in a WEEK! and you can even print car parts and you can (i think) build vehicles!
@@vort-x4896 Yep! It is pretty awesome!
