If you have an existing Nearmap subscription, you may be able to export Nearmap 3D Products from MapBrowser to use Trendspek.
To export 3D content, you must have a subscription with 3D export permissions (which your account administrator can provide you) with available export credits.
Any single export from Nearmap is limited to 50 sq km. or 19.3 sq mi. This could be any where between 25GB and 75GB in size depending on the format you have chosen. If your export area is larger than this, you'll need to obtain your content via an offline 3D export process. Please contact your Nearmap account manager for this.
Why upload Nearmap data to Trendspek?

Is available on demand, and often useful for planning of subsequent ultra high resolution captures
Export Data from Nearmap
Begin by opening Nearmap MapBrowser. Select the capture in order to proceed. This is a combination of the capture region and the month and year of the first survey in the capture.
Select the Textured Mesh in format Cesium 3D Tiles as shown above. No other format types are required for Trendspek.
Draw the area you wish to export: The area can be any shape of polygon, it doesn’t have to be rectangular.
To export a single building, select an area slightly bigger than the building you want to export, to avoid getting an incomplete 3D image.
If you draw an area that does not have 3D coverage, you will see a warning message and will not be able to proceed with the export.
If you draw an area that has only partial 3D content, the export will include only the area with 3D content and your allowance will only be deducted by the amount that was actually exported.
Once you finish defining the export area, the total size of the selection is shown in the Summary section Click REVIEW EXPORT. The export details are displayed.
Click CONFIRM EXPORT to proceed, or CANCEL to go back and change the export details. Once confirmed the export starts, and the exported area is deducted from your 3D allowance.
Once available, download the ZIP file, and head over to your Trendspek account.
