ASE to IFC Conversion
Check out this easy guide to turn ASE into IFC with our powerful converter:
Install Autoconverter
Download and install Autoconverter on your system. Launch the software to convert ASE files to IFC format.
Import ASE File
Click Open... to load your ASE (.ase, .ask) file, or drag and drop it into the application window.
Export to IFC Format
Use Save As... to export your file to the IFC file format (.ifc).

Autodesk Scene Export File
Developed by Autodesk for 3D Studio, the ASCII based ASE format stores comprehensive 3D scene data, including polygonal meshes, material definitions, animation keys, and lighting parameters. As a human-readable text format, it enables manual editing while maintaining compatibility with legacy 3D workflows.
Key Features of ASE
- Material Data Storage: ASE files store material information including colors, textures, and shaders used in 3D scenes.
- Hierarchical Scene Structure: ASE supports parent-child relationships between objects for organizing complex 3D scenes.
- Transform and Pivot Data: Object transformations like position, rotation, scale, and pivot points are stored.
- No Binary Compression: Being text-based, ASE files do not include any binary compression, which makes them larger in size.
ASE File Conversion
Autoconverter and Automesher Application leverage the cross-platform open asset import library to seamlessly read, import, and convert ASE files into a variety of 3D formats—including OFF, PLY, 3DM, and SKP - while preserving critical data such as textures, colors, and UV coordinates. This ensures accurate transitions from legacy 3D Studio scenes to modern workflows without losing essential visual or structural details. Transform legacy ASE files into modern FBX/USD formats with our professional ASE converters today!
Industrial Foundation Classes (IFC) File Format
The IFC file format is an open, ISO-certified standard (ISO 16739) designed for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. As a vendor-neutral format, IFC facilitates seamless data exchange and interoperability between different software applications, eliminating proprietary barriers in collaborative building projects.
Key Capabilities of the IFC Format
The IFC format can store a comprehensive range of project data for AEC workflows, including:
- Detailed Geometry: The IFC format captures 3D representations through various entity types, such as solids, surfaces, curves, and point clouds, to accurately depict structures.
- Measurement Units: IFC supports diverse measurement systems (meters, inches, degrees, etc.), ensuring precise and consistent data interpretation across different software.
- Materials and Visual Properties: Control visual properties such as color and transparency using RGBA values for accurate representation of materials in the model.
- Optimized Storage: IFC's mapping system allows identical geometries to be referenced multiple times, improving storage efficiency and performance.
- Hierarchical Structure: Organize complex projects with named components and unique identifiers, making it easier to manage large-scale construction designs.
- Building Information Modeling (BIM): As a BIM-native format, IFC integrates building information such as properties, constraints, and relationships alongside geometry for comprehensive project data.
IFC File Conversion: BIM Interoperability Made Simple
Convert between IFC formats (including IFC2x3, IFC4 and IFC4.3) while preserving BIM properties and geometry data using Autoconverter or Automesher Application. Our tools maintain maximum compatibility when exporting to DWG, SKP, STL and OBJ formats, though some IFC-specific metadata may require manual mapping for optimal results in non-IFC conversions.
Easily import, export, and convert IFC files to various 3D formats with full support for custom properties. Try it now and optimize your AEC workflows!
