💡 LWO to BricsCAD: How to Convert LightWave Object to DWG Drawing

How to Convert LWO to BricsCAD?

Our custom importer transforms LWO to BricsCAD import into a clean, reliable 3-step process - fast, accurate, and beginner-friendly:

  1. 📥 Download Automesher Application

    Download and install Automesher Application for AutoCAD, BricsCAD, GstarCAD, or ZWCAD - it adds the AmImportMesh command needed to import LWO files directly into BricsCAD drawings. Restart your CAD software after installation to load the plugin.

  2. ↩️ Open Your LWO File

    Type AmImportMesh in the command line or click the Import Mesh button in the Automesher ribbon. Browse to your LWO file (*.lwo, *.lxo) and click Open.

  3. 🧊 Select BricsCAD Entity Type

    Choose your target BricsCAD entity type - select Polyface Mesh for mesh-based workflows, 3D Solid for Boolean operations and engineering analysis, Subdivision Mesh for texture support, 3D Face for maximum compatibility, or Surface for NURBS-like editing. Press Enter to complete the LWO file import into the BricsCAD drawing.

LWO LightWave 3D LWO File Format

The LWO file format is the native 3D model format used by LightWave 3D, a powerful software suite for 3D modeling, animation, and rendering. Ideal for film, VFX, and game development, LWO files store advanced mesh data, materials, and layered scene elements with high precision.

Key Features of LWO Files

  • Advanced Geometry: Supports polygons, quads, n-gons, subdivision surfaces, and metaball objects.
  • UV Mapping: Stores multiple UV sets for texture mapping and material assignment.
  • Backwards Compatibility: Compatible with earlier LightWave versions, ensuring long-term accessibility.
  • Industry-Ready: Widely used in professional environments for broadcast graphics, video games, and CGI film production.

LWO File Conversion Tools

Autoconverter and Automesher Application offer full support for importing and converting LWO 3D model files into popular formats such as OBJ, STL, PLY, SKP, and CityJSON. These tools retain original geometry, material layers, and texture coordinates, ensuring accurate migration to modern CAD or 3D workflows. Whether you are archiving legacy LightWave projects or integrating with Blender or Unity, our LWO file converters deliver fast, reliable results.
