Metria Contour lines 1 m - vectorized contour lines in 3D
Product description
Elevation Curves 1 m is a vectorized elevation product with 1 meter spacing and elevation attributes (Z), developed for design, terrain analysis and modeling. The product can be used as a basis in both GIS and CAD environments where detailed information on height differences is essential.
Contour lines are often used as a key input for planning and design in varied terrain. With 1 m contours, you get a detailed dataset with denser contours than what is usually included in standard topographic maps.
The curves are delivered in vector format and contain 3D elevation values, making them useful in workflows where elevation data needs to be integrated for further analysis, modeling or volume calculations.
The product can be used in conjunction with other map layers and orthophotos to create a clearer picture of terrain shape and variation.
The contour lines are generated from Lantmäteriet's height data Markhöjdmodell and are created when ordered, which provides an up-to-date basis based on the latest available height model.

Areas of use
Terrain modeling and elevation analysis
The contour lines can be used to:
- create terrain models (DTM/DEM) by interpolation
- analyze slope and terrain shape in planning and risk assessment
- produce profiles and line of sight analysis
- identify breakpoints, valleys and ridges
Construction and infrastructure design
The product is often used as a basis for:
- road and railway design
- placement of buildings and facilities in hilly terrain
- volume calculations for excavation and filling
Energy and technical infrastructure
Examples of applications
- localization of wind power in relation to terrain and obstacles
- analytical basis for the placement of masts and technical objects
- planning of power line and infrastructure routes
Benefits and value
- High level of detail with 1 meter equidistance
- 3D information (Z-coordinate) for analysis and design in CAD/GIS
- Streamlines work compared to generating your own contour lines
- Data that can be used directly in further modeling and automation
- Delivery in several established formats: DWG, Shape and GeoPackage
