How to Convert GstarCAD to PLY?
With our custom exporter, exporting GstarCAD drawings to PLY is a breeze in three easy steps:
Install Automesher Application
Export PLY mesh files directly from GstarCAD drawings using Automesher Application - simply install the plugin and restart your CAD software.
Execute PLY 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 GstarCAD model space that you want to export.
Save as PLY Mesh File
Select PLY (*.ply) as file type, choose the destination folder and file name, then click Save to complete the export.

GstarCAD - Convert DWG Drawings
GstarCAD, developed by Gstarsoft, is a powerful and cost-effective CAD software solution, known for its high compatibility with the DWG file format. DWG files are widely used to store 2D and 3D design data in architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing industries.
Key Features of GstarCAD and DWG Files
- Robust CAD Tools: Design precise 2D drawings and detailed 3D models using GstarCAD's comprehensive drafting and modeling features.
- Native DWG Support: Open, edit, and save .dwg files natively to maintain accuracy and ensure seamless collaboration across platforms.
- Customization and Automation: Optimize workflows with support for AutoLISP, VBA, and GRX APIs to automate repetitive tasks and extend functionality.
Convert DWG Files to 3D and GIS Formats
Boost GstarCAD's capabilities with our Automesher Application and Automapki Application. These tools enable the import and export of popular 3D formats like STL, OBJ, SKP, FBX, and STEP, along with GIS formats such as SHP, KML, and GeoJSON. Integrate 3D models and spatial data directly into your GstarCAD projects with ease.
Convert DWG files and bring real-world context into your CAD environment - streamline your BIM and GIS workflows with powerful GstarCAD-compatible file conversion tools.
PLY File Format - Polygon File for 3D Mesh Models
The PLY file format (Polygon File Format), also known as the Stanford Triangle Format, is a versatile and lightweight standard for storing 3D mesh data. Originally developed at Stanford University, PLY files are widely used in 3D scanning, computer vision, and scientific visualization thanks to their flexibility and support for both ASCII and binary encodings.
Key Features of PLY Files
- Mesh Structure: Supports detailed geometry with vertices, polygons, and triangle faces.
- Rich Metadata: Stores color (RGB), normals, transparency, texture coordinates, and user-defined custom attributes.
- Dual Encoding: Offers ASCII for human readability and binary for efficient storage and performance.
PLY File Converters
Autoconverter provides fast, reliable PLY file conversion to a wide range of 3D formats including STL, OBJ, FBX, STEP, and SKP. Our PLY converter preserves mesh topology, color data, and optional attributes - perfect for use in CAD software, game engines, and 3D scanning workflows. Drag and drop to convert PLY files quickly and accurately - no data loss, no hassle.
