Adding High-Detail Castle Model

Help and support
1

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to 3D print the city of Peñíscola, and I’m currently looking for a way to improve the level of detail in the castle area. The relief of the castle is very characteristic, but the current mesh generated by the tool doesn’t capture it properly.

I found an existing high-detail 3D model of the castle, and I was wondering if there is any way to merge or import this model into Map2Model so the final print looks more accurate.
Here is the link to the model: Castillo de Peñíscola - Download Free 3D model by pardaletindiscret [630a0df] - Sketchfab

Additionally, could you please tell me how long it usually takes for Map2Model to update changes (terrain/building data) when regenerating the mesh?

Thanks a lot — I really enjoy the tool and would love to get the best possible result for Peñíscola.

  1. No, OSM doesn’t model meshes in 3D directly. For your purpose, it can only link to it in sketchfab= (similar to 3dmr= ). Please don’t upload the content to OSM somehow directly, as CC-By 4.0 needs a waiver.
  2. You should ask them directly, not here (seems not open-source either) Map2Model

You should do this in eg Blender yourself. Guess on workflow: Use the 3D Print extension, and do any simplifications or fixes to prepare the downloaded Sketchfab model for 3D printing. Cut the extent out from the Map2Model STL, and move the edited Sketchfab mesh to there.

Okay thanks! I am new using the SW. Sorry, i meant to OSM. If i added some builidings on a region that was missing, how long it takes so that the map is updated?

If you clear the cache in your browser, it will show up on osm.org in a matter of minutes. Other apps may update at a slower pace, some don’t even update at all.

The raw first-party OSM database is updated instantly. The default Standard layer renders in minutes.
I looked at the networking tab in the browser dev tools. Map2Model does seem to use the online public Overpass API. It should update within some more minutes too.

If you can covert your 3D model to GLB, it may be a way to upload it to www.3dmr.eu and use OSM2World to generate printable files.
