I have searched quite thoroughly on the internet and on Archinect but I haven't been able to locate a 2D map of Manhattan with buildings (.dwg or something similar). I could really use a map showing the footprints of buildings and street contours, and if anyone has it and could send it to me that would be awesome.
NYC has a huge number of open source maps and such...they've been trying to encourage developers of apps and such to create apps around information regarding the city. I think you should be able to find a map or two on there of manhattan and its buildings.
^Cadmapper is just pulling OSM data. You can do the same thing by downloading an OSM file and using Elk for Grasshopper if you're looking for a bigger section than the 1km by 1km free Cadmapper. Cadmapper had just 2 buildings extruded in a city that I wanted because of the height data but when I used Elk, the OSM file also included the number of levels so I was able to set up Elk to extrude based on that information. Meerkat is also a good plugin for grasshopper if you have solid SHP files.

on the right side you can export to a scaled PDF. Open in illustrator and export to dwg in scale. Bam.
