Object File Format
A simple and flexible file format for 3D polygonal objects. It is a versatile tool for storing and transferring 3D geometric data. It has the following features:
- ASCII Text Files: : The OFF files are text-based and use a simple syntax to store geometric data of 3D objects. The files can be easily edited and viewed with any text editor or viewer.
- Polygonal Shapes: The OFF files can store 3D triangles, quads, and other generic polygonal shapes. Each shape is defined by a list of vertices and a list of faces.
- OFF Converters: Autoconverter is our primary OFF file converter that can convert OFF files into other mesh file formats, such as STL, SKP, OBJ, PLY, etc. Autoshaper is another OFF file converter that can convert OFF files into smooth NURBS shapes, and save them into BREP, STEP, IGES, etc.
- Limitations: The OFF files do not support the conversion of materials, textures, or group names from more sophisticated 3D file formats. These attributes are not stored in the OFF files and are lost during the conversion process.
Standard ACIS Text File
An ASCII file format specifically designed to store 3D model geometry with precision. It was developed and is continuously maintained by the Spatial company. SAT files are widely supported across the majority of 3D modeling and CAD software. They play a crucial role in effectively exchanging 3D data between different systems, such as AutoCAD and Solidworks. Some of the features of SAT files are listed below:
- Precision: SAT files use a mathematical representation of 3D geometry, which preserves the exact shape and dimensions of the 3D models. This ensures that the 3D models are not distorted or corrupted during the data exchange process.
- Compatibility: SAT files are compatible with a large number of 3D software tools, which makes them a versatile and flexible file format for 3D data exchange. Users can easily import and export their 3D models using SAT files, without losing any information or quality.
- SAT File Converter: SAT files can also be used to convert mesh-based geometry into a true solid shape, which can improve the performance and functionality of the 3D models. Autoconverter allows you to convert and save your 3D files in the SAT file format for further editing in your CAD software.
