Industrial Foundation Classes (IFC) File Format
The IFC file format is an open, ISO-certified standard (ISO 16739) designed for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. As a vendor-neutral format, IFC facilitates seamless data exchange and interoperability between different software applications, eliminating proprietary barriers in collaborative building projects.
Key Capabilities of the IFC Format
The IFC format can store a comprehensive range of project data for AEC workflows, including:
- Measurement Units: IFC supports diverse measurement systems (meters, inches, degrees, etc.), ensuring precise and consistent data interpretation across different software.
- Materials and Visual Properties: Control visual properties such as color and transparency using RGBA values for accurate representation of materials in the model.
- Optimized Storage: IFC's mapping system allows identical geometries to be referenced multiple times, improving storage efficiency and performance.
- Hierarchical Structure: Organize complex projects with named components and unique identifiers, making it easier to manage large-scale construction designs.
- Building Information Modeling (BIM): As a BIM-native format, IFC integrates building information such as properties, constraints, and relationships alongside geometry for comprehensive project data.
IFC File Conversion: BIM Interoperability Made Simple
Convert between IFC formats (including IFC2x3, IFC4 and IFC4.3) while preserving BIM properties and geometry data using Autoconverter or Automesher Application. Our tools maintain maximum compatibility when exporting to DWG, SKP, STL and OBJ formats, though some IFC-specific metadata may require manual mapping for optimal results in non-IFC conversions.
Easily import, export, and convert IFC files to various 3D formats with full support for custom properties. Try it now and optimize your AEC workflows!
OFF File Format - 3D Object File for Polygon Meshes
The OFF (Object File Format) is a simple, ASCII-based 3D file format used for representing polygonal geometry in a lightweight, non-proprietary structure. Designed for academic and development use, the OFF format efficiently stores 3D model data using only vertices, faces, and optional edge information - ideal for geometry-focused workflows without material or texture metadata.
OFF File Features
- Editable ASCII Structure: OFF files are plain text, easily viewable and editable in any standard text editor, making them perfect for manual modeling or debugging.
- Supports Polygonal Geometry: Store 3D shapes using triangle meshes, quadrilaterals, or general polygons. Each face is defined by a list of vertex indices, allowing flexible model design.
- Lightweight and Minimal: Unlike complex CAD formats, OFF excludes materials, textures, and metadata, focusing purely on geometric structure for fast, efficient modeling.
Convert OFF Files to Other 3D Formats
Our 3D conversion tools make working with OFF files fast and flexible. Autoconverter enables direct conversion of OFF mesh models to popular formats such as STL, OBJ, SKP (SketchUp), and PLY - preserving polygonal integrity throughout. For advanced workflows, Autoshaper can convert OFF files into NURBS-based formats like STEP, IGES, and BREP, ideal for CAD software and precision manufacturing.
