Make a brick map of any place
Type a town, a street or an address. Brickalike draws the area around it as studs on a baseplate: roads in grey, water blue, parks green, and every building as a stack of bricks as tall as the real one (as far as the map knows). A gift for a wedding, a home town or a first flat.
How it works
- Type a place: A town, a street or an address. Pick the right one from the list.
- Choose the area: 300 m, 600 m or 1 km across. Drag the map or use the arrows to move the square, and choose how many studs the model has (32, 48 or 64; 96 on a computer).
- Save the files (Pro): You get the print file (STL, or a multi-colour 3MF), the parts list, a BrickLink shopping list and a building manual.
What you get
- A studded baseplate map: land, parks and woods, water and roads, one stud for each square of ground.
- Buildings that stand up: each building is a stack of bricks. Its height comes from the map's height or number of floors when it has one, and a typical height when it does not.
- The same files as every Brickalike model: a 3D preview, a parts list, a shopping list and a building manual.
Where the map comes from
Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence; map tiles by OpenFreeMap © OpenMapTiles. The place name you type goes to our server and the OpenStreetMap place search; your browser then fetches the map tiles for that square from OpenFreeMap. Nothing else is sent. The credit is also in the parts list and the building manual you save.
Questions
Is it free?
Making the map and looking at it in 3D is free. Saving the print files, the parts list and the manual is part of Brickalike Pro.
Can I use any place in the world?
Anywhere OpenStreetMap has data. Cities are usually well mapped. Some villages and many countryside areas have fewer buildings.
What do I need to build it?
The parts list covers the plates. You also need a flat board to press the map onto: one baseplate for every 32 × 32 studs.
