Seattle 3D model
Central Seattle waterfront blocks — DXF + STL
A small patch of central Seattle where the street grid climbs away from the Elliott Bay waterfront. The grade change across a few blocks is large enough that the terrain surface, not the buildings, is what you notice in a print.

What to expect here
- Sits in the USGS 3DEP footprint, so 1 m bare-earth lidar is tried before the ~10 m 1/3 arc-second DEM.
- Steep cross-slope: streets that look flat in plan carry several metres of fall across a single block.
- Waterfront edge means the export includes a water polygon boundary as well as buildings and roads.
Where the data comes from
Terrain sources are tried in order and the first one that actually covers the region wins, so the resolution you get depends on what has been flown here:
- 1 USGS 3DEP lidar 1 m
- 2 USGS 3DEP 1/3 arc-second ~10 m
- 3 Copernicus DEM GLO-30 30 m
Buildings, roads, water and landuse come from Overture Maps, which is global and openly licensed. Building heights are used where the source has them.
