The OSGB format is often used to store complex 3D terrain and building models, while 3DTiles is a 3D tile format optimized for network transmission and rendering. This article will introduce in detail how to convert OSGB format data to 3DTiles format in GISBox to meet the needs of online browsing and efficient rendering. The OSGB format occupies an important position in 3D modeling with its rich 3D information (including point clouds, textures, surface normal vectors, etc.). However, as 3D data continues to grow, how to efficiently manage and transmit this data has become a challenge. The 3DTiles format emerged as the times require. It supports a variety of data compression algorithms a...

 SHP (Shapefile) files are one of the most widely used vector data formats in the field of geographic information systems (GIS). They are indispensable in the field of handling various spatial data such as terrain, buildings, roads, and administrative districts. In particular, in recent years, the need to convert SHP data into map tiles (3DTiles, VectorTiles, etc.) and visualize them on the web has rapidly increased. In this article, we will introduce five excellent software that can directly read SHP files and output them as GIS tiles. A must-read for those who are working on data visualization and business efficiency! 1. QGIS Supported OS: Windows / macOS / Linux Price: Free (open source) Features: A flexible plugin system allows you to display, edit, and even convert SHP files into web tiles. Recommended uses: Urban planning, map learning in educational institutions, and introduction to GIS for beginners. 2. ArcGIS Pro Supported OS: Windows Price: Paid (commercial license) Featu...

GISBox, as a free and powerful platform, allows users to quickly generate 3D models of cities. Below, we will introduce in detail the steps to generate a 3D model of a city using GISBox. 1: Create a new scene The first step to generate a city 3D model in GISBox is to create a new scene. 2: Select from the map Vector data is usually required for generating a city 3D model, and SHP files (Shapefiles) are one of the widely used formats. Find and click the “SHP” option on the scene editing screen. The system will pop up a window and select the “Select from the map” mode. Go to the city area you want to model and select the desired area. This step allows you to accurately select the city rang...

 In recent years, the use of “OSGB (Open Scene Graph Binary Format)” has been increasing in the visualization of urban models, architectural designs, and point cloud data. However, OSGB files are difficult to use directly on general 3D visualization tools or web browsers, so they need to be converted to the more versatile “GLB” format. This is where the professional GIS tool “GISBox” comes in handy. With GISBox, you can convert OSGB files to GLB files with high accuracy and ease, greatly expanding the range of 3D data usage. Benefits of converting OSGB to GLB with GISBox GISBox Official Teams:  https://teams.live.com/l/invite/FEAr12sInvEVy4hFQE Official Teams Group:  https://teams.live.com/l/invite/FBAFp0pbqhqlpe1BQI 1. High-speed data processing GISBox can process large amounts of OSGB files in a short time. Even complex models can be converted smoothly. 2. Conversion with precision Even the converted GLB files retain the geometry and texture quality of the original data...
