How to Convert JSON to ZWCAD❓
Get JSON into ZWCAD without the hassle. Our purpose-built importer handles the entire process in just 3 easy steps:
📥 Download Automesher Application
Download and install Automesher Application for AutoCAD, BricsCAD, GstarCAD, or ZWCAD - it adds the AmImportMesh command needed to import JSON files directly into ZWCAD drawings. Restart your CAD software after installation to load the plugin.
↩️ Open Your JSON File
Type AmImportMesh in the command line or click the Import Mesh button in the Automesher ribbon. Browse to your JSON file (*.json, *.cityjson) and click Open.
🧊 Select ZWCAD Entity Type
Choose your target ZWCAD entity type - select Polyface Mesh for mesh-based workflows, 3D Solid for Boolean operations and engineering analysis, Subdivision Mesh for texture support, 3D Face for maximum compatibility, or Surface for NURBS-like editing. Press Enter to complete the JSON file import into the ZWCAD drawing.
3D City Model (CityJSON) File
The CityJSON file format is a modern, JSON-based (JavaScript Object Notation) standard designed for storing and exchanging 3D city models. It efficiently encodes buildings, roads, bridges, urban furniture, and other city objects, offering strong support for textures, semantics, and detailed metadata. CityJSON is a lightweight alternative to CityGML, optimized for simplicity, web integration, and high-performance applications.
Key Features of CityJSON Files
- JSON Simplicity: CityJSON files are lightweight, human-readable, and easily parsed by common programming languages, avoiding the complexity of XML structures like in CityGML.
- Semantic Data: Preserves rich metadata, including building heights, roof shapes, material classifications, and road types, enhancing 3D GIS and urban analysis.
- LOD (Level of Detail) Support: Manages multiple levels of detail (LOD1 through LOD4) to suit diverse visualization, simulation, and analysis needs.
- Web-Friendly Format: Perfect for 3D web visualization and integration with JavaScript libraries like Cesium and Three.js.
- Open and Extensible: Developed by the 3D Geoinformation Group (Delft University of Technology), CityJSON is an open standard that promotes interoperability and innovation.
- File Extension Note: Both CityJSON and GeoJSON use the .json extension - ensure you verify the file structure before processing to avoid errors.
CityJSON File Conversion Made Easy
With Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can seamlessly import, export, and convert CityJSON files into formats like STL, OBJ, SKP (SketchUp), and 3DS. Our tools preserve geometric precision and semantic information, making it easy to integrate 3D city models into your CAD, GIS, and 3D visualization workflows.
