In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to quickly find, clip, and export building footprint data for any project site using Equator. We walk through the entire process step-by-step, from selecting your area of interest to downloading clean, CAD-ready building footprint files in the formats you need.

What you’ll learn:
1. How to find public building outline datasets from trusted sources in Canada and the US (e.g., Microsoft, Statistics Canada)
2. How to clip massive datasets to your exact project boundary — no scripting required
3. How to export building footprints as Shapefile, DWG, or SVG for use in CAD or GIS software

How to streamline your site analysis, design, or planning workflows with clean building polygons

This workflow is ideal for civil engineers, site designers, architects, and GIS professionals who need accurate building data fast — without cleaning raw datasets or writing custom code.
