Toronto's SkyDome stadium overlaid on Central Park
Mapto has developed a dandy agency to exhibit the comparative size of a edifice past times overlaying its 3D model on exceed of an interactive map. The map allows y'all to house the 3D model on whatever spot inwards the world, allowing the user to thought the edifice inwards relation to a familiar location.
In the Mapto example, SkyDome Map, y'all tin thought a 3D model of Toronto's SkyDome stadium in addition to motility it to whatever place inwards the world. The map includes a seat out of quick links that exhibit the stadium overlaid on 4 other well-known Toronto locations. You tin every bit good click on the 'Move SkyDome' push to motility the model of the SkyDome to a place of your ain choice.
Mapto's map was developed from Andrew Harvey's Add a 3D Model to a Mapbox GL Map. Both Mapto in addition to Andrew role Mapbox GL, which allows y'all to disputation the map thought in addition to explore the 3D model from dissimilar angles. Something which y'all wouldn't live on able to create alongside a traditional top-down interactive map view.
The 3D model inwards Andrew's map uses the glTF file format for 3D scenes in addition to models. This is a good used format in addition to at that spot are enough of freely available glTF files of 3D models on the internet. If y'all desire to experiment alongside adding other 3D models to Mapbox GL in addition to then y'all are spoiled for selection of cook made 3D objects (for instance endeavour Sketchfab).
