Convert COB to ZWCAD - Lightning-Fast & Precise 3D File Conversion

COB to ZWCAD Conversion

The most efficient way to import COB into ZWCAD using our custom tool in three steps only:

1. Download Automesher Application

   Import COB files directly into ZWCAD drawings with Automesher Application - simply install the add-on and restart your CAD software.

2. Import COB File

   Execute the AmImportMesh command or click the Import Mesh button to open your COB (.cob, .scn) file.

3. Choose ZWCAD Entity Type

   Select your target ZWCAD entity - Polyface Mesh, 3D Solid, Subdivision Mesh, 3D Face, or Surface - and press Enter to complete the COB file import into ZWCAD.

Still tired of failed COB to ZWCAD conversions? Our foolproof guides ensure successful COB files conversion:

• Import WMS to ZWCAD: Add GIS Layers to Your DWG Drawings
• Import and Export STL, OBJ, 3DS, PLY, 3DM, SKP, IGES, and STEP Files
• Convert Solid, Surface, Polyface Mesh to Polygon Mesh in AutoCAD
• 3D Modeling Capabilities in Georeferenced KML and KMZ Files

COB Caligari TrueSpace Object File

A proprietary 3D file type created by Caligari Corporation for their TrueSpace modeling and animation software. This format was designed to store complete 3D scenes including geometry, materials, and animation data from TrueSpace projects. While the software is no longer actively developed, COb files remain important for working with legacy 3D assets and converting older TrueSpace creations to modern formats.

Key Features of COB

• Complete 3D Scene Storage: COB files save entire 3D scenes including models, lights, and cameras in a single file.
• COB File Formats: There are two types of COB files:
  • ASCII - Human-readable for manual edits and debugging in any text editor.
  • Binary - Smaller file sizes and faster loading for complex 3D scenes.
• Material Support: The COB format stores color, texture, and basic material properties for 3D objects.
• NURBS and Mesh Data: Supports both NURBS surfaces and polygonal mesh geometry types.

COB File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application support importing COB files (TrueSpace format) and converting them to other 3D formats like STEP, SAT, FBX, SKP, and OBJ. The conversion preserves key elements including materials, textures, and UV coordinates from the original COB file. This is made possible through our use of the Open Asset Import Library, which ensures reliable cross-platform conversions. Note that only import is supported - you cannot export back to COB format.
