CityJSON File
A modern, JSON based (JavaScript Object Notation) file format designed for storing 3D city models. It efficiently represents buildings, roads, bridges, and other urban features with support for textures, semantics, and metadata.
Key Features of CityJSON
JSON-Based:
Lightweight, human-readable, and easy to parse (no complex XML like CityGML).Semantic Richness:
Preserves object attributes (e.g., building heights, roof types, road classifications).LOD Support:
Stores multiple Levels of Detail (LOD1 - LOD4) for flexible use cases.Web-Ready:
Works seamlessly with JavaScript, APIs, and 3D web viewers (like Cesium or Three.js).Open Standard:
Developed and maintained by the 3D Geoinformation Group (Delft University).
CityJSON File Conversion
Autoconverter and Automesher Application let you import, export, and convert CityJSON files to formats like STL, OBJ, SKP, and 3DS while preserving semantic data and geometries. Easily integrate 3D city models into your workflows - try our CityJSON converters today!
Polygon File
A a simple and flexible file format to store 3D mesh data. It supports vertices, faces (triangles/polygons), colors, normals, and custom properties. PLY is also known as the Stanford Triangle Format as it was developed at Stanford University in the early 1990s. It still remains a popular choice for storing 3D geometry.
Key Features of PLY
Flexible Structure:
Supports vertices, faces (triangles/polygons), edges, and custom data.Properties:
Can store RGB colors, normals, texture coordinates, transparency, and user-defined attributes.ASCII & Binary Formats:
PLY files can be saved in ASCII (readable) or binary (compact) form.
