About Model my Property
Model my Property is a free website that turns a farm, smallholding, field, garden or house into a 3D model you can look around, share and 3D print.
Who makes it
The site is made and run by an individual in Devon, in the South West of England, who lives and works on farmland. It started as a way to make a printed model of our own farm, with the hills, hedges and buildings where they really are, and grew into a tool anyone can use for their own land.
It is also behind Auto Field Maps, a sister site that finds, measures and numbers every field on a farm.
What the site does
- You find your land on the map and draw around it, or pick the HM Land Registry boundary.
- It gathers the shape of the ground from lidar laser surveys and elevation data, and the buildings, hedges, walls, trees, water and tracks from OpenStreetMap and aerial photos.
- It builds a 3D model in your browser, which you can check, correct and add to by hand.
- You download it as an STL to 3D print, a coloured OBJ for full-colour printing, or a 3D viewer to share.

Why it is free
Designing a model and downloading the files costs nothing, and there is no account to make. The site is paid for by adverts from Google. Ads are kept away from the download buttons. The privacy policy explains how ads and cookies work and how to choose what you allow.
Your data stays with you
Your drawing, your photos and any files you add are read and kept in your own browser. They are not uploaded to us. To get the map, the heights and the buildings for your area, your browser asks public map services for that area only.
Where the data comes from
| What | Source |
|---|---|
| Ground heights | Environment Agency lidar (England), Welsh Government DataMapWales (Wales), the Scottish Remote Sensing Portal (Scotland), AHN via PDOK (Netherlands), IGN LiDAR HD (France), and Terrain Tiles on AWS elsewhere. |
| Buildings, roads, water and hedges | OpenStreetMap contributors. |
| Aerial photos | Esri, Maxar, Earthstar Geographics and the GIS user community. |
| Property boundaries | HM Land Registry INSPIRE Index Polygons, Crown copyright and database rights 2026, Ordnance Survey AC0000851063. |

Questions, ideas, a problem with your model, or a correction to the data? Email [email protected]. We read every message and usually reply within a few days.
If something on the map itself is wrong, such as a missing building or hedge, it can often be fixed for everyone by editing OpenStreetMap.
