FAQ
SHZ to GLTF Conversion
What are SHZ files?
SHZ is a Shapefile packed into a single ZIP archive. The Shapefile is a very widely used vector format of Esri, but it is really a group of files with the same name: one with the shapes, one with the index, one with the attribute table, one with the coordinate system, and sometimes a few more, and it is easy to lose one of them when copying or sending the data. An SHZ file keeps all of them together in one compressed file, which is smaller, easier to move, and cannot be separated. It holds one map layer, with points, lines, or polygons and their attributes. Recent versions of mapping programs can open and edit such a file directly, without unpacking it.
What are GLTF files?
glTF or GL Transmission Format is a vector extension developed by the non-profit consortium Khronos with the aim of improving interoperability between various types of software specialized in creating and accessing 3D content. The extension is compatible with several application programming interfaces (APIs) that offer 2D and 3D vector graphics rendering, including WebGL, OpenGL ES and OpenGL.
