3D scenes — 3D Tiles, BIM, and Gaussian splats

Icon Map for Fabric renders on a true 3D globe, so you can bring pre-built three-dimensional content onto your maps as reference layers — independent of your connected data. For 3D symbols driven by your own data, see 3D models.

3D Tiles

The 3D Tiles layer streams an OGC 3D Tiles tileset — for example, photogrammetry meshes or point clouds of a city or site. Detail is streamed based on how close the camera is, and the tileset can be grounded onto the basemap.

BIM models

The BIM model layer places a building model on the map from an IFC file in your OneLake. Icon Map reads the IFC, prepares a web-ready model grouped by storey or element type, and georeferences it automatically (from the file's coordinate information) or by manual placement. See also the Floor Plan Importer for turning CAD drawings into map-ready indoor data.

Gaussian splat scenes

The Gaussian splat layer places a 3D Gaussian-Splatting scene on the map (.sog, .ply, .splat, .ksplat, or .spz). Splat scenes give a photorealistic capture of a real-world location that you can position precisely on the globe.
