About glTF
Map of Samoa in glTF: 14 467 buildings — in the WGS 84 coordinate system, units are meters.
Which layers are in the file
This file for the selected area contains:
- Buildings
What the file carries
The glTF file for Samoa: 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 glTF for Samoa the following will not travel: 1 765 km of roads, 78 water features, 591 km² of green areas, 2 423 points of interest — 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 glTF file for Samoa is about 153 KB; the exact size depends on the chosen layers and area.
glTF file passport
Estimated from the place's OSM data; exact figures are in the file after the build.
- Triangles in the model (estimated): ≈ 173 616
- Model size at 1:5 000: 39 277 × 22 975 mm
Losses: OSM tags do not go into the model — features: 14 467.
Build recipe: glTF 2.0 (.glb — a single binary file, .gltf — JSON with embedded buffers): buildings extruded by height or building:levels × 3 m, material by building type; frame 196 × 115 km.

How to use glTF for Samoa
- Blender (free) — File → Import → glTF 2.0; the model arrives in meters, and from there you can simplify it, recolor it and render it.
- An online viewer — drag the file into three-gltf-viewer or gltf.report and spin the scene right away, checking the polygon count and materials.
- three.js and Babylon.js — hook it up through GLTFLoader or SceneLoader: the model drops into the scene with no conversion beforehand.

FAQ: glTF for Samoa
Which layers are included in the 3D model?
Only building geometry. Roads, landuse, water, and boundaries are not included in the 3D scene.
Is terrain relief included?
No, buildings sit on a flat base. Surface relief is available in the Terrain Mesh format.
What's the difference between glTF and GLB?
glTF is text JSON + separate binary files. GLB is everything in one binary file (more compact).
Can I view it in a browser?
Yes, glTF is the standard for web 3D. Use three.js, Babylon.js, or Cesium.
Where do building heights come from?
From OSM tags: height, building:levels, or 9m default (3 floors).
