KMZ to STEP
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to KMZ and STEP interoperability and exchange that could help you with the KMZ to STEP conversion.
- STEP to STL file conversion

KMZ Google Earth Placemark
KMZ (Google Earth Placemark) file format for Google Earth and Google Earth Pro allows you to store geographical data including point, line string and polygon geometry in the optimal way regarding the file size in the comparison to KML file format thanks to the ZIP file compression. Our Automapki Application for AutoCAD, BricsCAD and ZWCAD allows you to import KMZ maps into DWG model space and recreate every point, line string, polygon and Collada DAE model geometry saved in the optimized KMZ file. The Automapki Application can also export your point, polygon, curve and image DWG drawing entities to the compressed KMZ file format which can be processed further in Google Earth.
STEP File
STEP (STandardized Exchange of Product) is a very popular file format for the data 3D exchange between different computer systems e.g. CAD, CAM or CAE. As the STEP geometry data are stored in a text form you can expect bigger file sizes when exporting triangular meshes with thousands of faces using the Autoconverter software. However, if your geometry defines manifold solid it will try to create optimized faceted STEP brep representation which should reduce STEP file size by one-third. The STEP file format supports colors per assembly, but without the alpha component, therefore any transparency setting will be lost in the final STEP file.
