KML Keyhole Markup Language (KML) File

The Keyhole Markup Language (KML) file format, originally created by Keyhole, Inc. (later acquired by Google), is a widely used standard for storing and sharing geospatial information. KML files are essential for visualizing geographic data in applications like Google Earth, Google Earth Pro, ArcGIS, QGIS, and other mapping platforms.

Main Features of KML Files

  • XML-Based Format: KML files use an easy-to-edit XML structure to define geographic features such as points, paths, polygons, and 3D models for interactive mapping projects.
  • Broad Compatibility: KML files are fully supported across popular GIS and CAD applications, enabling seamless data sharing, visualization, and analysis across multiple platforms.
  • Rich Media Support: Embed images, videos, links, and other multimedia elements inside KML placemarks and descriptions to create dynamic and informative maps.

KML File Conversion and Integration

Convert and manage KML files effortlessly with our Automapki Application. Easily transform your AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and ZWCAD DWG entities - including points, polygons, curves, meshes, and 3D solids - into high-quality KML files. You can also import KML data back into your DWG drawings with full precision and control.

3DM Rhinoceros 3D (3DM) File Format

The 3DM file format is the native format for Rhinoceros 3D (Rhino), a leading NURBS-based 3D modeling software used across industries like architecture, engineering, and industrial design. 3DM files accurately store mathematical representations of curves, surfaces, solids, and meshes, making them essential for precision 3D modeling and CAD workflows.

Key Features of 3DM Files

  • NURBS Geometry: Supports precise, smooth surfaces critical for advanced design and engineering projects.
  • Polygonal Meshes: Stores tessellated 3D models ideal for rendering, simulation, and 3D printing workflows.
  • SubD Surfaces: Allows flexible, editable subdivision modeling for organic shapes and complex surfaces.
  • Instance References: Saves memory by creating linked object instances, optimizing large and detailed models.

Convert 3DM Files Seamlessly

Autoconverter and Autoshaper simplify 3DM file conversion to popular formats like STEP, IGES, OBJ, STL, and DWG. Automate the export of 3DM polygon meshes for 3D printing, or preserve NURBS data for engineering-grade CAD models. Save files in legacy (Rhino 2.X - 7.X) or latest Rhino 8.X formats to ensure compatibility across all project environments.
