How to convert 3DTiles files to OSGB files? (Oblique photography reverse tiling)

In GISBox, we provide you with a one-stop conversion method for various GIS file formats. You only need to import local GIS files and tile them, and then distribute them to major GIS platforms or digital twin project building platforms.

GISBox not only supports converting OSGB files into 3DTiles files, but also supports converting 3DTiles files back to OSGB files (reverse tiling). The following are the specific steps:

1. Create a New Tiling Task

Click the “Add” button in the “Tiling” option on the left to open the settings for creating a new tiling task.

Select “Reverse Tiling” in the left-hand options to begin setting up the tiling task.

2. Tiling Task Settings

2.1 Add File

In the settings for creating a new tiling task, click “Add File” and select the local 3DTiles file to add.

2.2 Basic Parameters

Click the folder icon on the right to set the path for file export. There is no special requirement for the export path, and it is usually saved in an empty folder, as shown in the following figure:

The “Spatial Reference” will be automatically generated based on the imported 3DTiles file.

If the original 3DTiles data has a “Y up” coordinate system, then when converting back to OSGB, you need to ensure that the target OSGB model also uses the same coordinate system. Similarly, if the original data is “Z up”, the target model should also maintain “Z up”.

After the settings are completed, click the “Create” button to start the conversion process. We can view the real-time progress, as shown in the figure below:

3. Edit Files

3.1 Open Folder

After the slicing task is completed, click the “Open Folder” button on the right to view the converted file, as shown in the following figure:

3.2 Delete Files

Click the “Delete” button on the right to delete the converted files.
