# Atlasly for Architecture Students

> Skip the 3-day GIS scramble. Generate a professional site analysis — maps, 3D context, topography, climate, walkability, policy — for any site in 60 seconds. Free plan covers most coursework.

## Quick Answer

**What's the fastest way to do a site analysis for a studio project?** Atlasly generates a full site analysis (maps, 3D model, topography, solar, walkability, planning context) for any address automatically. The free Starter plan includes 5 analyses/month — enough for most studio briefs — and every plan includes a student portfolio PDF exporter.

## What You Get

- Full site intelligence package for any address globally
- 3D site context model (exportable to Rhino / SketchUp / Blender)
- Topography profiles and contour lines
- Solar path and shadow studies (any date)
- 15-minute city walkability analysis
- Flood, heritage, ecology overlays (where data exists)
- Transport and PTAL analysis
- Student portfolio PDF exporter — clean layout, no watermarks

## Portfolio-Ready Outputs

- PDF site analysis report (print-ready layout)
- GLB / OBJ 3D model for Rhino / SketchUp / Blender
- SVG base maps for Illustrator
- GeoJSON / Shapefile for QGIS
- Shadow diagrams for any date
- Isochrone maps for walkability arguments

## Studio-Brief Use Cases

- First-year site analysis assignments
- Urban design thesis (walkability argument)
- Conservation / heritage projects
- Masterplan studio
- Competition entries
- Dissertation research on 15-minute cities or site feasibility

## Free Plan Works For

- 5 sites/month → typical for one studio brief with 1-2 iterations
- PDF + image exports → enough for a portfolio board
- Full Atlas AI chat → unlimited policy, framework, and precedent questions

Upgrade to Pro (£14.99/mo) if you need CAD/BIM exports or run >5 sites/month.

## Common Questions

**Is the free plan genuinely free?** Yes. No credit card, 5 analyses/month, full Atlas AI chat access.

**Can I cite Atlasly in my portfolio?** Yes — cite it as a data source alongside OS, OSM, Mapbox, Environment Agency, etc.

**Does it work on non-UK sites?** Yes, globally. UK / US / UAE have richest policy and planning data.

**Can I use the 3D model in Rhino?** Yes — export GLB, OBJ, FBX, or Collada.

**Does it replace hand-drawn site analysis?** No — it replaces the research phase. Hand-drawing remains an essential design skill.

**Is there a student discount on Pro?** The free plan covers most students. Contact us if you need Pro-level features for coursework.
