XYZ to KML
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to the XYZ and KML interoperability and exchange that can help you with the XYZ to KML conversion.
- Convert point cloud to mesh for SketchUp
- Convert OBJ to ASC point cloud file
- Nurbs surface reconstruction from triangle mesh or point cloud data
- Automesher desktop application for Windows to convert 3D file formats
- Mesh reconstruction from point cloud data
- Import and export STL, OBJ, 3DS, PLY, 3DM, SKP, IGES and STEP files
XYZ Point Cloud File
XYZ (Point cloud data) is a file extension used for ASCII text files with the point cloud data. Each row of XYZ file contains 3D point coordinates separated by a special character, usually a TAB and optionally 3D normal vector coordinates for that point. The normal vectors for the points are optional as it is possible to generate them on the fly based on the point cloud structure. Autoconverter is our XYZ file converter which allows you to automatically reconstruct the mesh surface from the point cloud data. Autoshaper is another XYZ file converter which allows you to reconstruct a smooth NURBS surface from scattered points stored in the XYZ file. The alternative file extension for point cloud data can be either ASC or TXT.
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.
