Order map from e-Torg

If you start from scratch and have to order a map, definitely pick this option.

Norkart's Revit plugin streamlines map ordering, setup, and project coordinate establishment. Before you begin:

  1. Install the Norkart Revit plugin (found in the Add-Ins tab). Download it here or during the ordering process.

  2. To get your login details for making a purchase, please check the relevant page in Simployer – it has everything you need.

Visit e-Torg and search for your project address.

On the results page, select the option for 3D-modell inkl. 2D-kart fra kommunen. Don't worry, you can adjust the size and project boundaries later.

Select Revit as the software for importing your data.

select import

Now, adjust the map data's area and size to match your project.

Always select the NTM10 coordinate system. Only use UTM32 if specifically requested.

Add your order to the basket and proceed to checkout.

After checkout, you'll receive an email from Norkart with a ZIP file attached. This is your map package. It includes the 2D municipal map, 3D buildings, and 3D trees (if available). This email will be sent to the address associated with the login credentials for purchase!

Alternatively, find the ZIP file in your order history and download it from there.

Place the downloaded ZIP file (don't unzip it!) into your official project map folder: [yourproject]\01_INN\01_gjeldende_underlag\KART\01_offisielle kart\xxxxxx_Norkart. Then, open your project in Revit, go to the Add-Ins tab, launch the Norkart Package Importer, and select the ZIP file.

First, rename the site Riktig plassering i Norge - Reelle koordinater to NTM (or "UTM" if necessary). Then, change the site Default site to Nullpunkt and set it as the current. Finally, pin all elements to prevent accidental changes – you're all set!
