The program is called Open3D DataConverter and enables users to convert geographical files (in the Shape format) to either the KMZ or the KML file formats. The files can then subsequently be displayed within a 3D program like Google Earth. iDelft delivers building data as part of the Vector-NL data set. These files can also be converted with this program. Additional information can be found on the website www.Bestel3D.nl. The Open3D DataConverter programma was sponsored by Senter/Novem (IPC program within ICT-Kring Delft). 22 August 2008 iDelft maintains its position as the leading suppier of 3D GIS data in The Netherlands.
