RAW to IFC Conversion
Step-by-step instructions to help you transform RAW into IFC with ease:
Download & Install Autoconverter
Convert RAW files to IFC format using Autoconverter - simply install and launch the software on your system.
Import RAW File
Click Open... to open your RAW file (.raw) or drag and drop it into the application window.
Export to IFC Format
Click Save As... to export your file to the IFC file format (.ifc).
Still finding it hard to convert RAW to IFC? These professional resources simplify RAW files conversion:
- Convert IFC File to Different Schema Version (IFC2x3, IFC4, IFC4x3, etc.)
- Convert SketchUp SKP Models with Component Instances to STEP
- Batch Convert 3D Mesh Files with Autoconverter (STEP, STL, OBJ & More)
- Automesher Desktop Application for Windows to Convert 3D File Formats
POV-Ray Triangles File
A minimalist ASCII format that stores 3D geometry as plain lists of triangle vertices (X,Y,Z coordinates), without material, color, or topological data. Designed for simplicity, RAW files represent models through raw triangle meshes - ideal for computational workflows where only vertex positions matter - but lack the support for textures or hierarchies.
Key Features of RAW
- File Simplicity: Plain text human-readable format with no headers or metadata.
- Data Content: Stores only vertex coordinates (X Y Z per line).
- Geometry Type: Exclusively represents triangle mesh vertices.
- Small Size: Minimal file overhead due to bare-bones structure.
RAW File Conversion
Automesher Application and Autoconverter software are capable of reading and importing RAW files through the use of the Open Asset Import Library, enabling seamless conversion of triangle-based RAW files into a variety of other formats such as STL, OBJ, DAE, SKP, STEP, and more.

Industrial Foundation Classes File
It is an open, ISO-certified standard (ISO 16739) specifically designed for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. As a vendor-neutral format, IFC enables seamless data exchange and interoperability between different software applications, eliminating proprietary barriers in collaborative projects.
IFC Format Capabilities
The IFC format can store comprehensive project data for AEC workflows, including but not limited to:
- Geometry: The IFC standard captures detailed 3D representations through multiple entity types including solids, surfaces, curves, and point clouds.
- Units: Each model component specifies its measurement system (meters, inches, degrees, or radians) for precise interpretation.
- Materials: IFC's material system controls visual properties through RGBA values (0-1 range) for accurate color and transparency settings.
- Instances: Through IFC's mapping system, identical geometries can be referenced multiple times, optimizing storage and performance.
- Structure: IFC organizes projects hierarchically using named components with unique identifiers, enabling complex project management.
- BIM: As a BIM-native (Building Information Modeling) format, IFC stores building information like properties, constraints, and relationships alongside geometry.
IFC File Conversion
Autoconverter and Automesher Application support IFC format, allowing you to import and export IFC models seamlessly. You can edit custom properties of IFC geometries and convert them to various 3D file formats. However please note that some IFC-specific features might not be fully supported in other formats and could be lost during conversion.
