Switzerland – Building Dataset (SwissBuildings 3.0 Beta)

Cityweft’s Switzerland building dataset is derived from SwissBuildings 3.0 Beta, published by swisstopo (the Swiss Federal Office of Topography). Swisstopo is Switzerland’s official national mapping authority, and the data represents the most authoritative and comprehensive public building dataset available for the country.

Cityweft processes this source data and prepares it for fast, consistent use in 3D city context, site analysis, and early-stage architectural and urban design workflows—while preserving the integrity and intent of the original dataset.
