JOSM/Plugins/Urban Eye 3D

Urban Eye 3D is a JOSM plugin that provides a dedicated 3D view (dockable or floating) to visualize loaded buildings and building parts (building=* and building:part=*).

Information

Key Features:

• Support of the Simple 3D Buildings specification
• Real-time updates: Changes made in JOSM instantly reflect in the 3D view
• Intuitive navigation, similar to modern 3d editors and F4 Map:
• Orbit (left mouse drag)
• Zoom (mouse wheel)
• Pan (right mouse drag)
• Basic color support for building:colour=* and roof:colour=* tags
• Two modes: solid and wireframe. Press ‘z’ to switch between them
• Visualization only – no editing or export functionality

Limitations:

• Several roof shapes (roof:shape=gabled, roof:shape=gambrel, roof:shape=hipped, roof:shape=round and some others) are supported for quadrilateral polygons.

Support of those roof shapes for arbitrary non-convex polygons may be added in future versions.

Installation

• In JOSM, open the menu Edit → Preferences, find the Plugins tab.
• If needed, hit the “Download list” button,
• Select the “Available” radio button,
• Type “urba…” in the search field,
• Don’t forget to check the box,
• Enjoy!
