What the site plan shows
The standard site plan is where Plantaube starts. It shows buildings as white footprints with an outline, plus trees, green space, water, streets, paths and railway tracks. Residential, commercial and industrial areas get soft tints, so the land use of a neighbourhood reads at a glance.
All data comes from OpenStreetMap. You pick the place, paper size and scale. Every layer can be hidden or recoloured on its own, and you can add shadows, floor counts or your own data when you need them.

Frequently asked questions
Is the site plan to scale?
Yes. You set the paper size and scale, for example 1:1000 or 1:5000, and the export matches that scale exactly.
Can I change the colours?
Yes. Each layer has its own colours and line weights. Save your style as a template and reuse it on the next plan.
Where does the data come from?
From OpenStreetMap, available worldwide. Credit it on the plan as “© OpenStreetMap contributors”. You can add your own data as GeoJSON or from a WFS.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Plantaube is free and runs in the browser without sign-up.
