The zgl file extension is associated with the XGL 3D CAD model file format supported by various 3D graphics applications.
The zgl file stores compressed 3D models in XML OpenGL API text format.
The ZGL format is a compressed version of the XGL file format.
The XGL file format is an old 1990s and early 2000s 3D file format developed by RealityWave Corp. for their 3D server & viewing products. The company and file format was folded in AVEVA Corp.
A few CAD programs were designed during this time period to export XGL and ZGL files for viewing within the RealityWave software, such as Solid Edge. ZGL is the most efficient file format to convert from AVEVA PDMS software (using their 'rvm2zgl.exe' program).
