Google Earth KMZ Placemark File Format
The KMZ file format is a compressed version of KML (Keyhole Markup Language) files, bundling associated resources - such as images, textures, 3D models, and overlays - into a single, efficient archive. Designed for sharing complex geospatial projects, KMZ files are natively supported by Google Earth and Google Earth Pro, making them ideal for professional geographic data visualization and distribution.
Key Features and Benefits of KMZ Files
- Efficient ZIP Compression: KMZ files use standard ZIP compression to dramatically reduce file size, optimize storage space, and enable faster uploads and downloads compared to standalone KML files.
- Comprehensive Geospatial Data Support: Support for points, line strings, polygons, overlays, and 3D models (Collada DAE) allows KMZ files to deliver rich, interactive geographic content.
- Wide Software Compatibility: KMZ files can be seamlessly opened, edited, and shared across popular geospatial applications such as Google Earth, Google Maps, ArcGIS, QGIS, and more, ensuring smooth project collaboration.
KMZ File Conversion Made Simple
With our Automapki Application, you can easily import and export KMZ files within AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and ZWCAD environments. Quickly convert DWG entities - including points, curves, polygons, 3D solids, and raster images - into KMZ format for seamless use in Google Earth. You can also reverse the process, converting KMZ files back into DWG drawings for further editing and enhancement.

CityJSON (3D City Model) 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.
