Importing Data

AugmentCity supports two ways to add data to a project:

• Upload a file — import data you have stored locally
• Connect an external source — stream live data from a server

Both options are available in the Layers panel.

File upload

Click + Add layer to open the Import Layer dialog and upload data from your device. The file is stored in the project and loaded into the 3D viewer.

Supported formats:

Format	Extension(s)	What it produces
GeoJSON	.geojson	Vector layer
GPX	.gpx	Vector layer (converted to GeoJSON)
TopoJSON	.topojson	Vector layer (converted to GeoJSON)
CSV / TSV	.csv	Point layer (coordinate or address columns auto-detected; all other columns become attributes)
Shapefile	.shp, .zip	Vector layer (converted to GeoJSON)
KML / KMZ	.kml, .kmz	Vector layer
CZML	.czml	Time-dynamic layer
IFC	.ifc	3D building model (converted to GLB)
3D Model	.glb, .gltf	3D model layer
Point Cloud	.las, .laz	Point cloud layer
Gaussian Splat	.ply	3D Gaussian splat layer (converted to 3D Tiles)
GeoTIFF	.tif, .tiff	Raster imagery layer (RGB/RGBA) or terrain layer (elevation)

File size limit: 200 MB per file.

tip

If a GeoJSON or CSV file has a time/date column with multiple rows per location or entity — such as repeated sensor readings — AugmentCity can play it back over the timeline as an animated Temporal Series instead of showing every row at once.

External sources

Click Add URL to open the Add External Layer dialog and link a live data source. No file is stored — the data is fetched from the server each time the layer is loaded.

Supported sources:

Source	Description
WMS	OGC Web Map Service — raster imagery tiles
WMTS	OGC Web Map Tile Service — pre-tiled raster imagery
ArcGIS Feature Server	Esri ArcGIS REST API vector features
XYZ Tiles	Slippy map tile URLs (e.g. OpenStreetMap)
Cesium Ion	Cesium Ion 3D assets (tilesets, terrain, imagery)
Google 3D Tiles	Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles via the Maps Tiles API
I3S Scene Layer	OGC I3S / ArcGIS Scene Service 3D scene layers
