PLY File
The PLY (Polygon File Format or Stanford Triangle Format), is a file format specifically designed to store three-dimensional triangles along with additional properties such as color, normals, transparency, or texture coordinates. Our Autoconverter software, a dedicated PLY file converter, primarily focuses on reading and writing mesh geometry, without considering material properties, which can vary between face vertices in PLY files. It’s worth noting that PLY files can be saved in either binary or ASCII text formats. The binary version is generally preferred due to its significant reduction in file size.
SKP SketchUp File
The SKP (SketchUp) file format, initially maintained by Google and now actively developed by Trimble, allows for the storage of reusable geometry component instances, named mesh groups, and materials with texture images. It’s important to note that starting from the SKP file version 16, the Win32 build is no longer available, making it advisable to use the Win64 build for converting the latest SketchUp models. With our Autoconverter software, you can save SKP files in any required version, from the early SketchUp 3 to the most recent SketchUp 2022.
