Industry First: Landmark introduces Ordnance Survey’s Building Height Attribute data and 3D data bundle

Launched as part of a new 3D Data Bundle, which combines OS MasterMap detail mapping, OS Terrain 5 height data with the OS Building Height Attribute information, it provides a full 3D representation of both the natural and built topography of a site.   The 3D Data Bundle is ideal for developers, planners, surveyors and architects that want to review accurate site data as part of the survey and due-diligence process.   The model is also suitable for printing to 3D printers.

Carole Ankers, Product Development Director, said: “We are excited to introduce the 3D Height data bundle to the market, which incorporates OS Building Height Attribute data. Based on new and existing Ordnance Survey datasets, this provides models and data to help visualise the landscape and topography of a site for a range of applications, including line of sight planning, right to light, fly-through sequences, planning applications and to support overall development projects. It can also be used for urban planning and signal propagation analysis.”
The new 3D Data Bundle removes the need to source and combine individual datasets in order to produce 3D models.  Users can quickly access a visualisation via PDF or DWG, and the data can be easily incorporated into existing CAD or GIS applications for further detailed analysis.  

Concludes Carole Ankers: “Using our data expertise, we have devised a bundle that will help save clients’ time and money and offers a valuable 3D visualisation product.  Giving our clients easy access enables them to start designs with accurate 3D data rather than speculating before surveys, as well as give them the ability to generate streetscapes and landscaping models without needing to overlay other products.”

  1. Landmark were not the first to release this data.

  2. Pretty sure "Industry First" is a misleading title for this, I received an email from GroundSure before this post stating they offer 3D OS Height model

  3. Hi Mark and Tarakul, thank you for your comments. We always check (and double check) the accuracy of our communications. As you know we recently released our 3D Data Bundle and OS Building Height data products which offer ready to use 3D models in a number of formats, including 3D PDF, within minutes of ordering. These products were available via Promap on 9th August and our email communication followed a few days later. The products are available to order via Promap and the data is delivered within minutes, rather than via a bespoke process that can take time to fulfil. At the time we launched the product we were assured (by the supplier of the data) that we were first to launch this specific bundle. However, as it is a great product I am not surprised if other suppliers have now added it too.

    I hope this alleviates your concerns and gives clarity on our statement. Please do give the Promap team or myself a call if you have any further questions – we are always happy to assist & welcome your feedback and thoughts on this new product.

    Regards,

    Carole Ankers – Promap Product Director
