- Buildings — solid volumes extruded from building outlines
What the file carries
The USD file for Åse: features come as a single stream, without named layers, OpenStreetMap tags are not kept — geometry and styling remain, object heights are carried.
What this file will not contain
In USD for Åse the following will not travel: 14 km of roads, 2 water features, 12 km² of green areas — the format prints solid volumes extruded from building outlines, and other layers are not part of the model.
File size
The expected size of the USD file for Åse is about 28 KB; the exact size depends on the chosen layers and area.

How to use USD for Åse
- Blender 3.0 and newer — File → Import → Universal Scene Description; the scene arrives in meters, and the units are worth checking during import.
- Houdini, Maya, Katana — USD is native to them: the file is attached as a stage or a reference, and buildings arrive as separate primitives.
- NVIDIA Omniverse — the scene opens directly and composes with other USD layers; handy when the city goes underneath a project.
Programs that open USD
FAQ: USD for Åse
Can I open it on iPhone?
Yes, USDZ files open in AR on iPhone/iPad via Safari or Files app.
Why USD over glTF?
USD supports complex scenes, variations, and animation. glTF is lighter for web.
USDA or USDZ — which one should I download?
By default a text .usda is returned: it can be inspected in an editor and is understood by every USD tool. For augmented reality on an iPhone take the separate USDZ format — it is the same USD packed into a single file.
Where does the building height come from?
From the height tag, if it is there. Next — the number of floors in building:levels at 3 meters each, then a typical height for that type of development, and as a last resort 9 meters. Roofs are flat: this is an LOD1 model, not architectural detail.
How large an area can I take?
Up to 1500 km². The service does not accept more and says so right away rather than after half an hour of rendering: extruding development over a large area gives millions of polygons.
