What does Mantle Place deliver?

Site-context spatial data products: imagery, vector basemap, and elevation for a curator-specified area of interest. Outputs ship as DWG, OBJ, and glTF files that drop directly into the digital content creation tools and viewers AECO teams already use.

Who is Mantle Place for?

AECO professionals — Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations. Land developers are included under Operations. The platform serves the common spatial data need across the disciplines that collaborate on a project’s full lifecycle.

How does pricing work?

Transparent area-based pricing. A base floor price scales with AOI size only — provider selection, output format, resolution, and fidelity are locked at defaults in v1. Curators see the price update live as they adjust the area. Pricing is deterministic at draw time. No quote forms, no enterprise sales.

Can I use the data commercially?

Yes. Every order ships with full license attribution. Outputs from ODbL-licensed sources are delivered as Produced Works — rasterized, meshed, extruded, or baked so the original database structure cannot reasonably be extracted back. Share-alike does not propagate to Produced Work outputs. Attribution obligations remain binding and are preserved in deliverable metadata.

What sources do you pull from?

v1 ships three providers: Protomaps for global vector basemap features, NAIP for sub-meter US aerial imagery, and Mapterhorn for global terrain (Terrarium-RGB PMTiles wrapping Copernicus GLO-30 globally and regional DEMs where available). Additional providers are planned for v2.

Do I need a subscription?

No. Purchases are one-time. Every bundle you buy is sealed into a permanent Cloudflare R2 vault and re-downloadable forever — no subscription, no expiry, no renewal.

What formats do you deliver?

DWG for AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Revit. OBJ for Rhino, SketchUp, and Blender. glTF and GLB for web viewers, Unreal, and Unity. Output formats reflect what AECO teams already use in production; additional formats are evaluated as curator demand and technical feasibility allow.

Is international coverage available?

Global for vector basemap (Protomaps) and elevation (Mapterhorn). v1 imagery is US-only (NAIP). International satellite and commercial imagery are the primary v2 target.
