LWO to STEP
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to LWO and STEP interoperability and exchange that could help you with the LWO to STEP conversion.
- Change 3D model units in STEP / IGES files
- Convert STL to STEP file
- Convert Rhino 3DM to STEP file format
LWO File
LWO (LightWave 3D Object) file is the native file format for LightWave 3D modeling, animation and rendering computer software. Using our Autoconverter and Automesher Application specialised LWO conversion software you can import 3D mesh geometry together with the assigned material information including the material texture images and convert any LWO object model into your favorite file format for further edition. The LWO is a binary file format therefore the LWO file size will always be smaller compared with the ASCII text file formats.
STEP File
STEP (STandardized Exchange of Product) is a very popular file format for the data 3D exchange between different computer systems e.g. CAD, CAM or CAE. As the STEP geometry data are stored in a text form you can expect bigger file sizes when exporting triangular meshes with thousands of faces using the Autoconverter software. However, if your geometry defines manifold solid it will try to create optimized faceted STEP brep representation which should reduce STEP file size by one-third. The STEP file format supports colors per assembly, but without the alpha component, therefore any transparency setting will be lost in the final STEP file.
