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.

PLY File Format - Polygon File for 3D Mesh Models
The PLY file format (Polygon File Format), also known as the Stanford Triangle Format, is a versatile and lightweight standard for storing 3D mesh data. Originally developed at Stanford University, PLY files are widely used in 3D scanning, computer vision, and scientific visualization thanks to their flexibility and support for both ASCII and binary encodings.
Key Features of PLY Files
- Mesh Structure: Supports detailed geometry with vertices, polygons, and triangle faces.
- Rich Metadata: Stores color (RGB), normals, transparency, texture coordinates, and user-defined custom attributes.
- Dual Encoding: Offers ASCII for human readability and binary for efficient storage and performance.
