3DS to IFC: Resources
The following resources are provided for your reference, focusing on the interoperability and exchange between 3DS and IFC files. They are designed to assist you in the transition from 3DS to IFC files.
- Converting IFC to SKP File with Autoconverter
- Convert SketchUp SKP Models with Component Instances to STEP
- Automesher Desktop Application for Windows to Convert 3D File Formats
- Convert 3D Mesh Files in the Batch Mode
- Convert IFC File to Different Schema Version
3DS File
The 3DS (3D Studio) is a widely recognized format used for storing polygonal mesh models. It supports additional features such as model names, reusable geometry component instances, materials with transparent colors, and texture images. However, due to legacy constraints, 3DS model names are limited to 8 characters, and a single 3DS mesh object can only contain up to 32,767 triangles. As a result, when exporting to the 3DS file format, larger meshes must be divided into smaller shells. Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application 3DS file converters simplify this process, allowing you to effortlessly convert any 3D model into the 3DS format. This makes it easy to import your model into DIALux lighting software, which also supports 3DS file extension.
IFC File
The IFC (Industrial Foundation Classes) file extension is commonly used in AEC (Architecture Engineering Construction) software, including applications like Revit from Autodesk or SmartPlant 3D by Intergraph. The IFC file format can store a wide range of information, including model geometry, measurement units, reusable geometry component instances, material colors with alpha values, assembly structure with component names, and generic BIM (Building Information Modeling) data. With our software, Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can open and save IFC geometries with custom properties and convert them to various other 3D file formats.
