FAQ
MVT to STEP Conversion
What are MVT files?
MVT (Mapbox Vector Tile) is a compact binary file that contains one square piece of a map, a tile, as vector data instead of a picture. A web map is built from many such tiles, and each of them holds the roads, rivers, buildings, borders, and labels that fall into its square, as points, lines, and polygons with a few attributes such as a name or a road class. Because the data are vectors, the map stays sharp at any zoom level, can be restyled or rotated in the browser, and downloads quickly. The format was created by Mapbox and has become a standard way to serve maps on the web, and the specification recommends the .mvt extension, although such tiles are often saved as .pbf.
What are STEP files?
STEP file contains Standard for the Exchange of Product Data (ISO 10303). STEP format is a widely used by popular CAD software.
