Description : Overview

The British National Grid Terrain 3D layer provides an elevation layer for England, Scotland and Wales in British National Grid. It uses data from four separate sources:

The surface has a resolution of 1 metre and is cached down to Level 14 of the GB Basemap Vector Tiling Scheme. Note that some areas use a data source with resolution of less than 1 metre.

Get Started Using This Service

Our simple five step guide gets you started using the British National Grid Elevation Layer.

Start by creating or opening an existing local scene. If there is already a basemap in the scene remove it by clicking the basemap icon in the top right and selecting no basemap.
Under the layer manager open the ground layer and remove the Terrain3D layer.
From the menu on the left hand side click the plus icon. Then browse layers and within the Living Atlas find the “British National Grid Terrain 3D Layer” and add it to your scene. It should automatically be added as a ground layer.
Next reopen the basemaps menu from the right hand side and select one of Esri UK’s open basemaps. You may need to scroll to the bottom, they all have a GB prefix. If you are a Maps+ customer you can also add your Maps+ basemaps. You should now have a 3D basemap
Finally you can add a Scene Layer that is in British National Grid to show your data in 3D.

Where Does The Underlying Data Come From?

The elevation layer produced by Esri UK uses data from the Environment Agency, Welsh Government, Scottish Government and Ordnance Survey. Each data provider has their own methodology for collecting and processing the data. You can find more information at the links above. Please note that the data was collected on different dates and in some areas goes back over 20 years. Incomplete areas are supplemented with OS Terrain 50 data which is of a lower resolution.

Tiling Schema

The Tiling Schema for this layer is available on ArcGIS Online: British National Grid - Tiling Schema - Overview
