Using Nearmap Imagery in 12d Model

Nearmap provides high-resolution aerial imagery that can be downloaded directly into 12d Model using the WMTS service. To set this up, you’ll need to create an API key with Nearmap and then connect it in 12d Model.

Visit Nearmap’s guide on how to create an API key:

👉 Create an API Key

You will need to log into your Nearmap account and generate an API key. Keep this key safe — it’s unique to your account.

Once you have your API key, head over to Nearmap’s WMTS integration guide:

👉 WMTS Integration

The WMTS service URL for Australia is:

https://au0.nearmap.com/maps/api/wmts/v1/apikey/YOUR_API_KEY

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key you created in Step 1.

In 12d Model:

1. Go to File ⇒ GIS.
2. Open the WMTS panel.
3. Paste the WMTS URL, replacing YOUR API KEY with your actual key.
4. Click ENTER on your keyboard to connect.

You can now download Nearmap imagery tiles directly into your 12d Model project.

Below is an example of the WMTS panel in 12d Model with the Nearmap URL entered:
