Keyhole Markup Language File
A file format developed by Keyhole, Inc. (later acquired by Google), that enables you to store and share geographical data with Google Earth, Google Earth Pro, and other geospatial software.
Key Features of KML
- XML Format: KML files use XML to store points, line strings, polygons, and Collada DAE models, which can be easily edited and customized.
- Interoperability: KML files can be viewed and manipulated by various applications and software, such as Google Earth, Google Maps, ArcGIS, QGIS, and more.
- Embedded Media: Users can embed images, videos, and links within KML placemarks and descriptions to enhance geographical presentations.
KML File Conversion
Our Automapki Application supports importing and exporting KML files and is fully compatible with AutoCAD, Bricscad, and ZWCAD. With this tool, you can seamlessly convert DWG entities - including points, polygons, curves, meshes, 3D solids, and raster images - to KML format, as well as transform KML data back into DWG entities.
Inventor File
The IV format is a 3D graphics file standard developed by Silicon Graphics (SGI) for representing complete 3D scenes. As a text-based format, it stores hierarchical scene graphs containing geometric shapes, materials, lighting, textures, and environment properties. Closely tied to the Open Inventor toolkit, this format served as a foundational C++ library for 1990s 3D graphics development.
Key Features of IV
- File Structure: Uses human-readable ASCII encoding with nested node hierarchies that organize 3D scene elements.
- Format Origin: Developed by Silicon Graphics in the early 1990s as the native file format for their Open Inventor 3D graphics toolkit.
- Scene Representation: Implements a directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure to define parent-child relationships between 3D objects.
- Visual Attributes: Stores comprehensive material definitions including ambient/diffuse/specular colors, shininess, and transparency.
- Texture Mapping: Supports both procedural and image-based textures with UV coordinate mapping.
