i'm looking for this too. only found a bunch of SHP files of everything, but i don't have anything that will convert those to DWGs.

sent you an email...

hey, can't quite figure out your link - they dont seem to have anything in illustrator format.

my file is too big to email (35mb)...ideas?

its only of manhattan, so you might not want it anyway.

oh thanks justavisual, but i need brooklyn!

meta - just sent you an email on this...

hey, i'm looking for the same: CAD and 3d maps. anyone?

why doesn't archinect set up an online archive of useful things like this?

1) cad maps of cities
2) cad blocks
3) photoshop entourage

that would be not only helpful but marketable

hi,
just been searching for manhattan maps and dug this back up, does anyone have .dwgs of this area (since I dont have GIS)? that will be MUCH appreciated! thanks!

i think its posted on the website cben.net
if you can locate the shape files (.SHP), you can convert it to dwg with FME (its a 14 day evaluation, www.safe.com)

try www.cben.net

oops didnt see gonads response

thanks, guys.

Could i get that file too. jmlura@uh.edu There are large file sharing websites like megaupload, rapidshare, dropbox, and yousendit that can host the file for sharing.

Thanks,
John

Hey everyone, I need a CAD or vector map of NYC too—but specifically for the building footprints in Manhattan and the defining bodies of water surrounding. (and the other boroughs if possible). I do not need streets, parks, etc.

Additionally, I need building footprint maps for the following cities if anyone has them:

Los Angeles
Toronto
Tokyo
Madrid
Paris
Hong Kong
London
Chicago
Mexico City
Munich
Dallas
Sao Paulo
Rome
San Francisco
Seoul

Thanks!
Sean

hey everybody I searched everywhere on internet for The Bronx map in vector/CAD form I am not able to find anything. Could someone please help

Hey everybody.  I know it has been awhile since this conversation took place but is there anyone who has a detailed DWG of the 5 boroughs in CAD format?

Sir Arthur, 

i am looking for a CAD drawing of Manhattan.  Can you point me to one?  thanks.

Here ya go

hello all, I came across this forum also searching for a DWG. The one posted above is pretty decent and includes all 5 boros however its not quite as accurate as the following, which is for now of Manhattan only (plus the perimeter shorelines of NJ and BK)

http://wirednewyork.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22948&page=4

the last post on this page of the forum contains a link that will start an automatic download. its a rather large file which is why I haven't reposted it elsewhere. 

I agree with nb072 above, we should find a way to contact archinect and see if they can't create a resources section as I'm sure many could use this amongst other helpful files and it'd clean up the forums quite a bit. Further a centrally located DWG could be updated by many over time and ultimately include all boros - each contributing their sites to slowly build it up. For now all my sites are in Manhattan but in the future I'll return here if I end up drawing details in BK and so on, and attach an updated file. 

Hi,

can anybody send me the cad map of NYC please?

 

Hi allllll,

I need the cad map too, and really appreciate if any one can email it to me!

Hello, 

I followed all the links on http://wirednewyork.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22948&page=4 and the website that was originally hosting it no longer exist, so I can't figure out a way to download it. 

If anyone knows of a location of this file it would be greatly beneficial to my thesis. 

Thanks in advance for your help. 

hello,

this post ist already a few years old thus most links do not exist anymore. I am currently finishing my master degree and my thesis is a waterfront museum in Brooklyn. I really need .ai or .dwg plans for that...

Can anyone help please?

Thank you very much in advance!!!

Best,

Patrick

here you go - all 5 boroughs, blocks and street, not lots...DWG

Manhattan

Brooklyn

Queens

Bronx

Staten Island

Wow Olaf! That is great! Thank you so much!

I really appreciate your help!!!

If you happen to have streets and building footprints of lower Manhattan and Brooklyn I would love to have those too..

Thank you so much. I hope I can return the favour at some point!

Best Pat

Thanks Olaf...... It is such a great.... It will help me so much in urban research...... Thank you again.....

Arth

Pink Patrick and Arth another Archinect thread posted this website http://bdon.org/cad/

The DXF files can be opened in CAD and saved as DWG and they show all the building

so between the block map with streets and the BDON website you can assemble the entire thing.

Thank you Olaf, I'm starting my thesis on the city of NYC and those links are very useful! 

Do you know where I could find a 3D model of Manhattan? 

Best - /Q

Email me quentin.au

Thanks! Olaf! 

I think Bronx is corrupted and is there a way to get the union city file aswell.?

Olaf! Your DWG of Manhattan really helps me a lot! I'm now startng to design  a high rise as  master project in Manhattan. Could you please send to me also the 3D models per Email? thanks!!!!!!!!

antonela_10_7@hotmail dwg of Manhattan please !!!

Hi Olaf. I'm trying to download your dwg of Queens posted on april25, 2014, but it doesn't work. Could you please send me it by email to p.birro@hotmail.it? Thank you!!

I have the DWG of all 5 boroughs in one file.  It is over 230 MB so dropbox or similar would be needed to download.  Can some one let me know if there is a better way to share the file?

Hello,

I'm an architect student looking for a cad file of Manhattan for a project I'm working on. I've tried various links found online which have not been much help. If someone could send me the file to my drop box: mhdd1995@aol.com that would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone !!

I also need a cad fil of Manhattan for a project. It would be perfect if it could include not only streets but also buildings footprints. If someone can help me : giulianolemma1@gmail.com

Thanks in advance : ) 

Hello Everyone,

I am an architecture student working on my thesis taking place in Lower Manhattan. I have been looking everywhere (without much luck) for a 3D file of lower Manhattan along with the the Topography. If anyone has any information or files that would help, please email at foridesigns@gmail.com.

I would really appreciate the help! Thank you!

Here you can find some free vector maps of different cities and countries and also buy some, not so expensive!

Anyone have a cad file of the Bronx Borough displaying the topo mapping and features?

Please and THanks

dear all, 

would somebody share autocad map of manhattan with me? would appreciate it a lot.

if there is someone, here is my address > petricevicpp@gmail.com

thanks,

I saw my problems and I'll see the light We got a lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right There ain't no danger we can go too far We start believin' now that we can be who we are, GIS is the word

They think our love is just a growin' pain Why don't they understand? it's just a cryin' shame Their lips are lyin', only real is real We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel, GIS is the word

It's got a groove, it's got a meaning GIS is the time, is the place, is the motion GIS is the way we are feeling

We take the pressure, and we throw away conventionality, belongs to yesterday There is a chance that we can make it so far We start believin' now that we can be who we are, GIS is the word

It's got a groove, it's got a meaning GIS is the time, is the place, is the motion GIS is the way we are feeling

This is a life of illusion, a life of control Mixed with confusion, what're we doin' here?

Hey everybody...

I noticed that a lot of people were interested on the Manhattan map. Well, here it is: https://dbr.ee/tsmL

Hopefully it doesn't get deleted soon. 

PS. I was wondering if John O'Shea could upload the 230MB file of the 5 buroughs from New York... It would be really helpful for all of us. 

Hi all, 

I am looking for a cad map of staten island. I saw the  post from Olaf but the links don't work. Does anybody have or can point me in the right direction to find such a dwg?

Thanks!

Hi to everyone! I'm an architecture student and i will do my thesis about Staten island. Has anyone a DWG plan of it? All the link in this discussion didn't work. Thank you! This is my mail.
