Steps to get GIS data into Unity

Question

Hello,

I am fairly new to Unity development but have worked with GIS for a little while. I am trying to piece together the steps to get GIS data e.g. shapefiles or dem into the Unity environment. For instance suppose I have a shapefile (vector) of a urban areas streets. At a high level, how would I go about importing this into Unity? Another possible scenario I am interested in is if I had a digital elevation model and wanted to import this.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Cheers, Derek

I have used this tutorial from Nexus Mods before and converted a DEM into a heightmap:

My team made some video tutorials on how to build a terrain with a height map here:

I hope this helps!
