  2. Import RAW File

    Click Open... to load your RAW (.raw) file, or drag and drop it into the application window.

  3. Export to IFC Format

    Use 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:

RAW 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. Try our reliable RAW converters to export your RAW files into modern formats today!

IFC Industrial Foundation Classes (IFC) File Format

The IFC file format is an open, ISO-certified standard (ISO 16739) designed for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. As a vendor-neutral format, IFC facilitates seamless data exchange and interoperability between different software applications, eliminating proprietary barriers in collaborative building projects.

Key Capabilities of the IFC Format

The IFC format can store a comprehensive range of project data for AEC workflows, including:

  • Detailed Geometry: The IFC format captures 3D representations through various entity types, such as solids, surfaces, curves, and point clouds, to accurately depict structures.
  • Measurement Units: IFC supports diverse measurement systems (meters, inches, degrees, etc.), ensuring precise and consistent data interpretation across different software.
  • Materials and Visual Properties: Control visual properties such as color and transparency using RGBA values for accurate representation of materials in the model.
  • Optimized Storage: IFC's mapping system allows identical geometries to be referenced multiple times, improving storage efficiency and performance.
  • Hierarchical Structure: Organize complex projects with named components and unique identifiers, making it easier to manage large-scale construction designs.
  • Building Information Modeling (BIM): As a BIM-native format, IFC integrates building information such as properties, constraints, and relationships alongside geometry for comprehensive project data.

IFC File Conversion: BIM Interoperability Made Simple

Convert between IFC formats (including IFC2x3, IFC4 and IFC4.3) while preserving BIM properties and geometry data using Autoconverter or Automesher Application. Our tools maintain maximum compatibility when exporting to DWG, SKP, STL and OBJ formats, though some IFC-specific metadata may require manual mapping for optimal results in non-IFC conversions.

Easily import, export, and convert IFC files to various 3D formats with full support for custom properties. Try it now and optimize your AEC workflows!
