STL to KML
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to the STL and KML interoperability and exchange that can help you with the STL to KML conversion.
- Automesher and Automapki Applications Support ZWCAD 2024
- KML and KMZ Files in AutoCAD DWG Drawings
- Import and export of map files in AutoCAD
- Export KML Google Earth map from DWG AutoCAD
- Import KML Google Earth map into DWG AutoCAD
STL File
STL (STereoLithography) is a file format developed by 3D Systems company, the world leader in the 3D printing industry. STL files contain triangular mesh only, without face color, texture, transparency and named groups data. While it is possible to assign RGB color value for each individual vertex, Autoconverter our STL file converter doesn't support this STL file extension. You can save STL files in binary or ASCII text file format, with the preference for the former one due to significant STL file size reduction. The triangles in STL files are always defined in millimeters therefore our STL converters will make the necessary unit conversion if required.
KML Google Earth
KML (Keyhole Markup Language) file format for Google Earth and Google Earth Pro allows you to store geographical data including point, line string and polygon geometry in the XML textual format. Automapki Application for AutoCAD, BricsCAD and ZWCAD enables you to import KML maps into DWG model space and recreate every point, line string, polygon and Collada DAE model geometry saved in the KML file. The longitude and latitude KML coordinates are automatically converted to your geospatial coordinate reference system defined in the DWG drawing. Automapki Application can also export your point, polygon, curve and image DWG drawing entities to KML file format which can be processed further in Google Earth.
