U3D to KML
The following resources are provided for your reference, focusing on the interoperability and exchange between U3D and KML files. They are designed to assist you in the transition from U3D to KML file.
- KML and KMZ Files in AutoCAD DWG Drawings
- Import KML Google Earth Map into DWG AutoCAD
- Automesher and Automapki Applications Support ZWCAD 2024
- Export KML Google Earth Map from DWG AutoCAD
- 3D Modeling Capabilities in Georeferenced KML and KMZ Files
- Import and Export of Map Files in AutoCAD
U3D File
The U3D (Universal 3D) file format is an open-source compressed format, initiated by the 3D Industry Forum. It’s designed to store three-dimensional triangular meshes along with additional properties such as color, transparency, or texture coordinates. This format plays a significant role in the general 3D graphics industry, particularly in conjunction with 3D PDF technology. It enables the generation of PDF documents containing interactive 3D data from U3D files. Both of our U3D file converters, Autoconverter and Automesher Application, are capable of reading and writing to and from the U3D file format. This is made possible thanks to the publicly available open-source IFX conversion library provided by Intel. To streamline the process of generating 3D PDF documents, our converters create a standard TEX script that can be easily utilized with free LaTeX software.
KML Google Earth
The KML (Keyhole Markup Language) file format, which is used in Google Earth and Google Earth Pro, allows for the storage of geographical data. This includes point, line string, and polygon geometry, all in an XML textual format. Our Automapki Application, compatible with AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and ZWCAD, enables a seamless import of KML maps into the DWG model space. This process accurately reproduces every point, line string, polygon, and Collada DAE model geometry from the KML file. Furthermore, Automapki Application provides the ability to export your point, polygon, curve, and image DWG drawing entities to the KML file format.
