The following dataset formats are supported for import and addition to a project. We continually enhance this functionality by incorporating support for additional formats. Should you have other dataset formats you wish to be supported, please reach out to us by submitting a support request.
Vectors
- Keyhole Markup Language (.kml)
- Shape File (.shp)
- Drawing eXchange Format (.dxf)
- GeoJSON (.geojson)
- GPS Exchange Format (.GPX)
KML works best for bringing in 3D vectors since our 3D viewer seamlessly handles KML (points, lines, polygons—excluding Collada). It preserves any custom styling you apply to features.
- Keyhole Markup Language (.kml):
- KML is an XML-based file format used for displaying geographic data in an Earth browser, such as Google Earth.
- It can represent features like points, lines, polygons, images, and textual descriptions.
- KML is commonly used for sharing geographic data and creating custom maps.
- Shapefile (.shp):
- A Shapefile is a common geospatial vector data format developed by Esri.
- It consists of multiple files (.shp, .shx, .dbf, etc.) that collectively store geometric and attribute information of geographic features.
- Shapefiles are widely used in geographic information system (GIS) software for spatial data management and analysis.
- Drawing eXchange Format (.dxf):
- DXF is a file format developed by Autodesk for 2D and 3D drawings.
- It is commonly used for exchanging data between different CAD (Computer-Aided Design) applications.
- DXF files can store a variety of information, including geometry, attributes, and metadata.
- GeoJSON (.geojson):
- GeoJSON is a text-based geospatial data interchange format based on JavaScript Object Notation (JSON).
- It is used to represent geographic features, such as points, lines, and polygons, along with their attributes.
- GeoJSON is commonly used for web mapping and is easy to read and write for both machines and humans.
- GPS Exchange Format (.GPX):
- GPX is a standard file format used for storing and exchanging GPS data.
- It can include waypoints, tracks, and routes recorded by GPS devices.
- GPX files are commonly used for activities like hiking, biking, and geocaching, and they can be imported into various mapping and navigation software.
These formats play crucial roles in managing and exchanging geographic and spatial data across different applications and platforms.
If you're using ESRI SHP format, please upload it as a zip file in the format YOUR_FILENAME.zip.
3D Models
- GL Transmission Format (.GLTF)
