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.
U3D File
U3D (Universal 3D) is an open source compressed file format initiated by the 3D Industry Forum to store three dimensional triangular meshes with the additional properties e.g. color, transparency or texture coordinates for the general 3D graphics industry. The U3D file format is mostly used in combination with the 3D PDF technology which allows you to generate PDF documents containing interactive 3D data from the U3D files. Autoconverter and Automesher Application, our U3D file converters can read and write to and from U3D file format thanks to the publicly available open source IFX converter library provided by the Intel company. To simplify generation of 3D PDF documents our converters create a common TEX script which can be easily used to generate a PDF document with the standard and free LaTeX software.
