XYZ XYZ File - 3D Point Cloud Data Format

An XYZ file is an ASCII text format used for storing 3D point cloud data. Each line in an XYZ file contains a set of X, Y, and Z coordinates, representing a specific point in three-dimensional space. These files capture the shape, size, and surface characteristics of real-world objects or environments, and are typically separated by tabs or spaces for easy parsing. Point clouds generated from laser scans, photogrammetry, or LIDAR are often stored in the XYZ format due to its simplicity and compatibility.

Key Features of XYZ Files

  • Simple Data Structure: Each row contains exactly one point with X, Y, and Z coordinate values.
  • Lightweight Format: No complex headers, metadata, or compression - just pure spatial data, making it fast and easy to process.
  • No Connectivity Information: XYZ files store points independently without defining surfaces or edges between them.
  • Widely Used in Industry: Commonly applied in surveying, autonomous vehicle navigation, construction, archaeology, and heritage preservation for capturing detailed 3D environments.

Convert XYZ Point Clouds to 3D Models

Our Autoconverter software intelligently reconstructs polygonal meshes from XYZ point cloud files, creating lightweight 3D surfaces optimized for visualization, analysis, and 3D printing. For advanced CAD/CAM workflows, Autoshaper transforms XYZ data into smooth NURBS surfaces, delivering mathematically accurate 3D models suitable for engineering and manufacturing applications.

Convert XYZ files to STL, OBJ, STEP, IGES, and more - bridge the gap between raw point clouds and production-ready 3D models. Try our XYZ point cloud converters today and experience seamless 3D data transformation!

KMZ Google Earth KMZ Placemark File Format

The KMZ file format is a compressed version of KML (Keyhole Markup Language) files, bundling associated resources - such as images, textures, 3D models, and overlays - into a single, efficient archive. Designed for sharing complex geospatial projects, KMZ files are natively supported by Google Earth and Google Earth Pro, making them ideal for professional geographic data visualization and distribution.

Key Features and Benefits of KMZ Files

  • Efficient ZIP Compression: KMZ files use standard ZIP compression to dramatically reduce file size, optimize storage space, and enable faster uploads and downloads compared to standalone KML files.
  • Comprehensive Geospatial Data Support: Support for points, line strings, polygons, overlays, and 3D models (Collada DAE) allows KMZ files to deliver rich, interactive geographic content.
  • Wide Software Compatibility: KMZ files can be seamlessly opened, edited, and shared across popular geospatial applications such as Google Earth, Google Maps, ArcGIS, QGIS, and more, ensuring smooth project collaboration.

KMZ File Conversion Made Simple

With our Automapki Application, you can easily import and export KMZ files within AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and ZWCAD environments. Quickly convert DWG entities - including points, curves, polygons, 3D solids, and raster images - into KMZ format for seamless use in Google Earth. You can also reverse the process, converting KMZ files back into DWG drawings for further editing and enhancement.
