How to Convert IFC to X3D?
Step-by-step instructions to help you transform IFC into X3D with ease:
Install Autoconverter
Download and install Autoconverter on your system. Launch the software to convert IFC files to X3D format.
Import IFC File
Click Open... to load your IFC (.ifc) file, or drag and drop it into the application window.
Export to X3D Format
Use Save As... to export your file to the X3D file format (*.x3d, *.x3db).

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!
X3D File - Extensible 3D Graphics Format
X3D (Extensible 3D) is an open-standard, royalty-free 3D file format developed by the Web3D Consortium. Based on XML, X3D is designed for real-time 3D rendering and interactive scenes directly within web environments. It is the official successor to VRML and supports animations, shading, interactivity, and integration with modern web technologies like HTML5 and WebGL.
Key Features of X3D and X3DB Files
- VRML Successor: X3D offers backward compatibility with VRML while expanding functionality with modern web capabilities.
- Web-Ready Format: Seamlessly integrates with X3DOM, Three.js, and other HTML5/JavaScript libraries for interactive 3D graphics on the web.
- Scene Graph Structure: Organizes 3D content hierarchically, allowing precise control over transformations, lighting, geometry, and animations.
- Text-Based XML Encoding: Human-readable file structure makes it easy to edit, validate, and manage X3D content in development workflows.
Convert X3D Files to Other 3D Formats
Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application provide powerful tools to convert X3D and X3DB files into popular 3D formats including STL, OBJ, 3DS, SKP, and STEP. Maintain full scene integrity, geometry, and materials while transitioning between web-based and CAD-ready formats.
