GEOFRAME DOCUMENTATION / START HERE

Getting started

From an address to a 3D district in a few minutes, in a web browser, with nothing to install.

01

What you need

A current web browser and a GeoFrame account. On the desktop that is Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox; GeoFrame also runs on iPad and on phones with touch controls. Quality adapts to the device, from a workstation graphics card (up to Extreme quality) to a phone on a site visit.

There is nothing to install and no hardware to buy. Pro and Team plans are billed through Stripe; cities, agencies and schools usually start with a demo.

Your first district, step by step

  1. Open GeoFrame

    Sign in at the GeoFrame app in your browser. Your account can add a mobile number for one-time sign-in codes.

  2. Find the place

    Search the county's address points and fly straight to the parcel. Press / anywhere to start typing.

  3. Pick a square

    Drag a square on the map, from 500 m to 2 km a side. GeoFrame snaps it to the street grid and shows what it will contain before you build.

  4. Let it build

    The build runs in the background from public data while you keep working. You can ask for up to 64 squares, 256 km², in one request.

  5. Explore it

    Open the district to fly over it, drop to street level, turn the sun and measure.

  6. Make it yours

    Your first change asks for a name and starts a map of your own. The district as built never changes.

03

The one idea to remember

You choose the ground; GeoFrame does the modelling. Every district is a square of the real world rebuilt from public data, with nothing traced by hand. Everything you add, from a quick massing box to an imported IFC model, lives in a named map on top of it, so you can try five options for one site as five maps, side by side.

Where to go next

  • GeoFrame at a glance: every feature on one page.
  • Selecting and building districts: sizes, coverage and what a build contains.
  • Workflows by use case: step by step for planners, architects, marketers and teachers.
  • Exploring a district: sun and shadow, layers, measuring and search.
  • Editing with Creator: massing, the 3D editor, the AI assistant and CAD import.
  • Maps and sharing: who sees your work and how to present it.
