COB to IFC: Resources
Below, you'll discover a compendium of resources dedicated to the interoperability and exchange of COB and IFC file formats. These will aid in the smooth conversion from COB to IFC files.
- Convert IFC File to Different Schema Version
- Convert 3D Mesh Files in the Batch Mode
- Converting IFC to SKP File with Autoconverter
- Automesher Desktop Application for Windows to Convert 3D File Formats
- Convert SketchUp SKP Models with Component Instances to STEP
COB File
The COB (Caligari TrueSpace Object) file format is a 3D object proprietary file format developed by the Caligari Corporation. These COB files can be encoded in both ASCII and binary formats. Generally, binary files are preferred due to their smaller size and faster processing times. Our software, Autoconverter and Automesher Application, have the ability to read and import COB files. This capability is made possible by the open asset import library. As a result, we can support custom materials, textures, UV coordinates, and other common 3D object properties that are stored within a COB file.
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.
