Add 3D Models and Tilesets for real-world spatial context
Upload 3D content to your Swyvl project. Use 3D models for simple visualisation or stream tiled datasets for detailed, immersive site context.
The real world isn't flat - your data shouldn't be either.
3D Data
3D Model
Upload 3D models in .glb or .gltf format. Ideal for buildings, equipment and conceptual models.
Position manually anywhere on the map
Adjust scale, elevation, rotation and orientation
Great for context, planning and site reviews
3D Tileset
Upload large-scale, geospatially accurate 3D Tiles 1.0 or 1.1. Ideal for drone surveys, photogrammetry or LiDAR data.
Stream large datasets with smooth performance
Maintain real-world coordinates and scale
Combine with other data for full project context
How It Works
Upload
Upload your .glb or .gltf file for 3D Models, or a .zip file containing a 3D Tileset in 3D Tiles 1.0 or 1.1 format.
Position or Align
3D Models can be manually placed, rotated, scaled and elevated to match your map.
3D Tilesets are positioned automatically using their embedded geospatial coordinates. If needed, you can adjust the height for better alignment.
View and Navigate
Use orbit and zoom controls to move through your 3D Models and Tilesets from any angle in both the Builder and the Viewer.
Share and Collaborate
Publish your Project to share an interactive 3D experience with your team or clients - no downloads or special software needed.
FAQs
What is the difference between 3D Models and 3D Tilesets?
3D Models (.glb and .gltf) are smaller, individual models manually placed on the map. 3D Tilesets (3D Tiles 1.0 or 1.1) stream large geospatial datasets like terrain, photogrammetry or LiDAR.
Do I need to georeference 3D Models?
No - you manually position them anywhere in the Builder. Tilesets, however, use embedded coordinates and align automatically.
Can I upload multiple 3D files in one Project?
Yes - you can add multiple 3D Models and 3D Tilesets to the same Project, and combine them with Photos, Plans and Draw Tools.
Is there a file size limit?
Yes - Swyvl currently supports uploads up to 40GB for ZIP files.
Can I control how 3D Models appear?
Yes - use the Properties Panel to adjust model placement, scale and rotation.
