'@it' is a free GIS plugin for Grasshopper to parse the geospatial data sets. The plugin @it aims to leverage Open Data, to allow user to make quick visualization to reveal the invisible dimensions, relationship, patterns and trends.
The main feature is GIS data visualization utilizing spatial data sets in .shp (shape) format. There are three components for the spatial data visualization feature:
shp@it category includes generic GIS tools; supports Point, Line, Polygon vector data format
IshpNYC: These are the NYC specific GIS tools (Open Data, .shp files)
GeoCoder: Uses Google map api (no plugin needed but u need internet connection)
[new] Statistics :
[new] Open Street Map OSM: Components to parse OSM data, utilizes REST api

Hello to everyone.
I have tried the @it plugin (provaAtIt.gh) with the shapefile downloaded from this site.
When I connect the polygon geometry of shapefile to the extrude component, after some time, it appears a message of error and Rhino crashes.
How can I solve?

I have tried to simplify the data with this model:
Even if the unit of measure in Rhino is setted to meters, the view is incoherent:
So I have tried to divide for 1000 the height values:
And I obtained this perspective view:

Hi Francesco,
There are about 60.000 polygon and you are trying to extrude them at once. It is probably the reason that Rhino crashes because not enough memory to do it so!
I recommend you to use filter options in the component and reduce the number of the shapes to extrude at once. In the dataset there might be a feature that you can filter data by region or zipcode. Then extrude the polygons, i also suggest make surface from polygons first and extrude the surface instead closed polyline. Also flatten the inputs of extrusion.
