• Convert Polyface Mesh to Solid in AutoCAD

KML Keyhole Markup Language File

A file format that enables you to store and share geographical data with Google Earth and Google Earth Pro. Some of the benefits and features of KML files are:

• XML Format:

  KML files use XML to store point, line string, polygon, and Collada DAE model, 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 Files Converter

KML files can be imported and exported by our Automapki Application, which is compatible with AutoCAD, Bricscad, and ZWCAD. This application allows you to convert your DWG entities, such as point, polygon, curve, mesh, 3D solid, and raster image, to KML files, and vice versa.

STP STandardized Exchange of Product File

A widely adopted file format for the exchange of 3D data across diverse computer systems, including CAD, CAM, and CAE applications. Designed to ensure seamless interoperability, STEP files provide a reliable and standardized method for sharing complex 3D models. Here are some key benefits and features of STEP files:

Key Benefits & Features

• Universal Interoperability:

  As an ISO-standardized format, STEP files eliminate vendor lock-in, allowing smooth data exchange between major CAD software like SolidWorks, NX, Creo, CATIA, and more.

• Broad Compatibility:

  Supported by numerous applications and platforms, STEP files simplify cross-industry collaboration and ensure consistency across different workflows.

• High Accuracy:

  Unlike mesh formats such as SKP, OBJ, or STL, which may introduce distortions, STEP files maintain the precise shape, dimensions, and integrity of 3D models.

• Materials:

  STEP files retain color information per assembly, making them useful for design visualization. However, they do not support transparency (alpha component), meaning transparent materials will appear opaque.

STEP Files Conversion

STEP files can become quite large, particularly when they contain intricate or high-resolution 3D models. To reduce file size, our Autoconverter software offers an efficient solution by utilizing the faceted BREP representation, which can reduce file size by up to one-third. Leveraging the powerful Open Cascade framework, Autoconverter ensures full compatibility with the latest STEP standards, making it the ideal tool for optimizing STEP files without compromising quality.
