What is Planimetric Mapping?

Planimetric mapping is a method of creating a 2-dimensional representation of the features and objects on the Earth's surface. It typically shows the location of man-made features such as buildings, roads, and bridges, as well as natural features such as bodies of water and vegetation. Planimetric maps do not show elevations or heights, but rather focus on the horizontal positions of features. The purpose of planimetric mapping is to provide a visual representation of the layout of an area.

Then what's the difference between 2D and 3D Planimetric Surveys?

2D and 3D planimetric mapping represent different perspectives and levels of detail for mapping the features on the Earth's surface.

2D planimetric mapping is a two-dimensional representation of the features and objects on the Earth's surface. It typically shows the horizontal positions of man-made features such as buildings, roads, and bridges, as well as natural features such as bodies of water and vegetation.

3D planimetric mapping, on the other hand, adds an extra dimension of depth and elevation to the map. This type of mapping provi
