03 — Data sources

The accuracy of the best Swiss sources.

No global approximations. Every export is assembled from federal and cantonal reference datasets — the same data your surveyor and your commune work with.

How is HelveCAD different from downloading data from swisstopo?

swisstopo publishes raw geodata in GIS formats, one dataset at a time. HelveCAD merges the cadastral survey, 3D buildings, terrain, zoning and imagery for your parcel into a single DXF, IFC or LandXML file with named layers — no GIS software or conversion needed.

Which export formats are available?

DXF for AutoCAD and ArchiCAD, IFC4 for BIM (Revit, ArchiCAD, Tekla), LandXML TIN surfaces for civil engineering, XYZ and LAS point clouds, and georeferenced orthophotos (PNG with PGW world file). AutoCAD and ArchiCAD exports come with a step-by-step import guide.

Does HelveCAD cover all of Switzerland?

Yes. HelveCAD covers all 26 cantons with official data: swisstopo for terrain (swissALTI3D), buildings (swissBUILDINGS3D), vegetation (swissSURFACE3D) and imagery (SWISSIMAGE), and the official cadastral survey for parcel boundaries and zoning.

Which coordinate system do the files use?

All exports use the Swiss LV95 coordinate system (EPSG:2056, CH1903+/LV95), the official national reference frame, with heights in LN02. Files land in the right place in Swiss CAD and GIS projects.

Can I order an export with an EGRID number?

Yes. Type the parcel’s EGRID (for example CH946365899619), the unique identifier from the Swiss land register, in the search field. You can also search by address or click on the map.

Does HelveCAD work with Revit?

Yes, through the IFC4 export, the open BIM exchange standard. Models contain IfcBuilding, IfcSlab and IfcWall entities that Revit imports natively. For terrain, use the LandXML export with Revit or Civil 3D surface tools.

How much does an export cost?

A single export costs between CHF 59 and CHF 119, depending on the size of the export area. No account or subscription is needed: pay online with Stripe and download your files. For 10 or more exports a month, Popety.io offers integrated access.

Can an export replace a licensed surveyor’s plan?

No. Exports are built from official reference data and suit feasibility studies, competitions and design work, but they are not a certified survey. For legally binding boundaries, work with a licensed engineer-surveyor. Setback lines are informative.
