#1Direct OSM Download & Import

Get OSM data with ease by entering an address and choosing a radius. No third-party tools or external conversion - the add-on handles download, preprocessing, and import into Blender's native format.

#2Geolocation & Projection

Coordinates are transformed into Blender space using the Web Mercator projection, providing consistent metric alignment for architectural and urban design workflows. Precise enough for site-specific studies, massing analysis, and layering with your own models or maps.

#3Modular Building Generation with Real Metadata

Generate building volumes, or curves for roads and infrastructure levels. Buildings are generated as clean 3D masses based on OSM tags like height and levels. Where data is missing, default values are used. Each object carries metadata accessible via Custom Properties, making further categorization easy.

#4Customizable Analysis Modes

Generate quick urban diagrams based on building height or function. Switch between analysis types with a single click and save colors to Object Properties.

Functional Zoning - color-coded by use (residential, commercial, public…)
Elevation Groups - grouped by number of floors with random color palettes
Vertical Color Map - one-color gradient by height with editable hue

„This is where the true core of Urban Tools begins - laying the groundwork for deeper urban analysis features that could expand in future updates. Still, everything before this point already serves as a powerful, practical toolset for importing, preparing, and testing real OSM data directly in Blender with minimal setup.“ -Parametr-

#5Efficient Material Export for Rendering

Once your analysis is ready, generate real materials from the colors - an easy switch from viewport visualization to quality renders in Eevee or Cycles.
