What is an axonometric diagram in architecture?
An axonometric is a parallel projection that shows plan and height in one drawing without perspective, so dimensions stay measurable. In site analysis it explains the 3D context: building heights, density, open space and how the site sits among its neighbours.
What is an exploded axonometric?
An exploded axonometric pulls a drawing apart into stacked layers, for example terrain, streets, green space, land use and buildings, so each system can be read separately. MapToNap draws exploded stacks in 3D Site (Exploded City and Exploded Stack) and the Transit Layers drawing, which floats the transit network above the city.
Where do the building heights come from?
From OpenStreetMap height and building:levels tags. Where a building has no height, MapToNap estimates it from its floors or a typical value and marks this in the legend; it does not survey buildings.
Can I edit the axonometric?
Yes. Drawings export as editable SVG and vector PDF for Illustrator, Affinity or Inkscape, and as PNG. The 3D Site model also exports to Rhino 3DM, OBJ and GLB (Max).
Is it free?
You can try MapToNap free: four 2D drawings (roads, land use, green and water, urban fabric) and one 3D drawing, with a watermark and no sign-up. Without the watermark and with all 68 analyses there are one-time passes: Pro €7.99 or Max €12.99 for 30 days, or a year of Max for €49. Nothing renews automatically.
Do I need to install anything? Does it work on a phone?
No installation and no setup. MapToNap runs in the browser on any computer, tablet or phone, iPhone or Android: open maptonap.com/app, type an address and press Generate. 3D drawings and simulations run smoothest on a computer.
