BricsCAD to U3D
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to BricsCAD and U3D interoperability and exchange that could help you with the BricsCAD to U3D conversion.
BricsCAD Drawing
BricsCAD is yet another alternative CAD (Computer Aided Design) software program developed and enhanced on an annual basis by Bricsys company. It always supports the most recent DWG file format introduced with the most recent AutoCAD release. Our Automesher Application and Automapki Application add-ons allow importing and exporting from many external file formats directly into BricsCAD drawing model space. The ObjectBRX advanced customization technology from Bricsys allows us to integrate with the BricsCAD environment and translate from the external 3D file formats in the most optimal way.
U3D File
U3D (Universal 3D) is an open source compressed file format initiated by the 3D Industry Forum to store three dimensional triangular meshes with the additional properties e.g. color, transparency or texture coordinates for the general 3D graphics industry. The U3D file format is mostly used in combination with the 3D PDF technology which allows you to generate PDF documents containing interactive 3D data from the U3D files. Autoconverter and Automesher Application, our U3D file converters can read and write to and from U3D file format thanks to the publicly available open source IFX converter library provided by the Intel company. To simplify generation of 3D PDF documents our converters create a common TEX script which can be easily used to generate a PDF document with the standard and free LaTeX software.
