Free CAD files of 241 cities
I've prepared 241 CAD files of metropolitan areas around the world, in .DXF format.
http://bdon.org/cad/
These files have layers for roads, buildings footprints, parks and more. They're scaled to meters in project coordinates.
This is a first release, so I'm looking for feedback on how these can be more useful to the Archinect community.
Thanks!
Oh Wow, thats awesome, thanks!
Thank you!

Absolutely fantastic!
Fantastic, thanks. I'm curious though: what's the copyright attribution requirement on this?
Hi Chch,
The guidelines for attribution of OpenStreetMap data are here:

As an aside... One thing I noticed was that the Pantheon is missing in the Rome map... At least I think it is.
You can use this with the contours from http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/viewer/ to make 3d models.
