Polygon File
A a simple and flexible file format to store 3D mesh data. It supports vertices, faces (triangles/polygons), colors, normals, and custom properties. PLY is also known as the Stanford Triangle Format as it was developed at Stanford University in the early 1990s. It still remains a popular choice for storing 3D geometry.
Key Features of PLY
- Flexible Structure: Supports vertices, faces (triangles/polygons), edges, and custom data.
- Properties: Can store RGB colors, normals, texture coordinates, transparency, and user-defined attributes.
- ASCII & Binary Formats: PLY files can be saved in ASCII (readable) or binary (compact) form.

SketchUp 3D Model - SKP File Format
The SKP file format is the native 3D model format for SketchUp, originally developed by Google and now maintained by Trimble. Known for its simplicity and powerful modeling capabilities, SKP files are widely used in architecture, interior design, engineering, and product design for creating detailed 3D models quickly and efficiently.
Key Features and Advantages of SKP Files
- Comprehensive 3D Data: SKP files store reusable components, grouped meshes, layers, scenes, and textured materials, enabling streamlined modeling workflows and faster project development across architectural and engineering disciplines.
- Version-Specific Requirements: SketchUp files vary by version. For instance, SKP files from version 2016 and newer require a Win64 build for compatibility, while older files can be opened with Win32 builds. Understanding SKP version differences is crucial for smooth file sharing and project collaboration.
- Scalability and Performance: Whether modeling small furniture pieces or large urban environments, SKP files scale efficiently. SketchUp optimizations ensure that even large, highly detailed scenes maintain fast, responsive performance.
