How to Convert BricsCAD to IV❓
Effortlessly export BricsCAD drawings to IV - our custom exporter makes it that simple:
📥 Install Automesher Application
Export IV files directly from BricsCAD drawings using Automesher Application - simply install the plugin and restart your CAD software.
▶️ Execute IV Export
Enter AmExportMesh in the command line. Then, select the 3D entities (e.g., Polyface Mesh, Polygon Mesh, 3D Solid, or 3D Face) from your BricsCAD model space that you want to export.
💾 Save as IV File
Select IV (*.iv) as file type, choose the destination folder and file name, then click Save to complete the export.

Key Features of BricsCAD Software
- Full DWG Compatibility: Native support for the latest DWG versions ensures seamless collaboration with AutoCAD and other industry-standard CAD applications.
- AI-Powered Drawing Automation: Accelerate design workflows with BricsCAD Shape and AI-based machine learning tools for smarter, faster drafting.
- Direct 3D Modeling: Push-pull intuitive editing tools allow for rapid conceptual design, 3D modeling, and solid editing without complex commands.
- Customization and Automation: Extend BricsCAD functionality using LISP routines, C++, .NET APIs, and ObjectBRX programming interfaces.
BricsCAD Drawing Conversion and Data Integration
Expand your BricsCAD capabilities with Automesher Application and Automapki Application add-ons. These tools enable direct import and export of 3D models and geospatial data in industry-standard formats:
- 3D Model Support: Import and export STL, SKP (SketchUp), OBJ, and other popular 3D model formats directly into BricsCAD.
- GIS Data Integration: Work with SHP (ESRI Shapefiles), KML (Google Earth files), and more to integrate geographic information into your CAD drawings.
Supercharge your workflow with Automesher and Automapki - the essential BricsCAD plug-ins for connecting 3D modeling and geospatial data, ensuring your designs are more powerful, flexible, and globally compatible.
IV File - Open Inventor 3D Scene Format
The IV file format, also known as the Open Inventor format, is a text-based 3D graphics standard originally developed by Silicon Graphics (SGI). Designed for complete 3D scene representation, IV files use hierarchical scene graphs to define geometry, lighting, materials, and textures. The format played a key role in early 3D development and is tightly integrated with the Open Inventor API - an object-oriented C++ toolkit used in scientific visualization, CAD, and simulation.
Key Features of IV Files
- Readable File Structure: Human-friendly ASCII format that organizes 3D content using nested nodes for easier editing and scripting.
- Scene Graph Hierarchy: Defines parent-child relationships between 3D objects using a directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure.
- Rich Visual Metadata: Includes lighting, shading, camera settings, and full material definitions (specular, ambient, diffuse, transparency).
- Texture Support: Handles both procedural and raster-based textures using UV mapping coordinates.
- Legacy Compatibility: Ideal for scientific and engineering applications that still rely on Open Inventor-based platforms.
Convert IV Files to FBX, glTF, OBJ, and More
Use Autoconverter to easily convert IV files to modern 3D formats like FBX, glTF, STL, OBJ, and DAE. Our IV file converter preserves full scene structure, materials, and geometry, bridging the gap between legacy and modern 3D workflows. Whether you are updating legacy data or working in cross-platform 3D environments, Autoconverter makes IV file conversion seamless and reliable.
