Convert LWO to IFC: The Necessary Intel

LWO to IFC: Resources

The following resources are provided for your reference, focusing on the interoperability and exchange between LWO and IFC file formats. They are designed to assist you in the transition from LWO to IFC files.


LWO File LWO

The LWO (LightWave 3D Object) is the native file format for the LightWave 3D modeling, animation, and rendering computer software. Our specialized LWO conversion software, Autoconverter and Automesher Application, allows for the seamless import of 3D mesh geometry, along with assigned material information, including material texture images, color, reflectivity and transparency. This enables you to convert any LWO object model into your preferred file format for further editing in your default 3D software.


IFC File IFC

The IFC (Industrial Foundation Classes) file extension is commonly used in AEC (Architecture Engineering Construction) software, including applications like Revit from Autodesk or SmartPlant 3D by Intergraph. The IFC file format can store a wide range of information, including model geometry, measurement units, reusable geometry component instances, material colors with alpha values, assembly structure with component names, and generic BIM (Building Information Modeling) data. With our software, Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can open and save IFC geometries with custom properties and convert them to various other 3D file formats.
