RAW to XYZ
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to RAW and XYZ interoperability and exchange that could help you with the RAW to XYZ conversion.
RAW POV-Ray File
RAW (POV-Ray Triangles) is a simple ASCII file format that just stores a list of triangle vertices without any further material or topological data. Each text line of the RAW file stores nine floating point numbers that represent the 3D space coordinates of the three triangle vertices. Our Automesher Application and Autoconverter RAW file converters, can read and import RAW files thanks to the open asset import library. However the saving and exporting to a simple triangle RAW file format is not yet supported. Feel free to create a support request for such a feature.
XYZ Point Cloud File
XYZ (Point cloud data) is a file extension used for ASCII text files with the point cloud data. Each row of XYZ file contains 3D point coordinates separated by a special character, usually a TAB and optionally 3D normal vector coordinates for that point. The normal vectors for the points are optional as it is possible to generate them on the fly based on the point cloud structure. Autoconverter is our XYZ file converter which allows you to automatically reconstruct the mesh surface from the point cloud data. Autoshaper is another XYZ file converter which allows you to reconstruct a smooth NURBS surface from scattered points stored in the XYZ file. The alternative file extension for point cloud data can be either ASC or TXT.
