TER Terragen Terrain File

The proprietary format native to Terragen, specialized for storing high-fidelity natural terrain data. Designed specifically for landscape generation, TER files preserve elevation maps, texture layers, and environmental parameters to create realistic mountains, valleys, rivers, and ecosystems.

Key Features of TER

  • File Purpose: Stores procedural and rendered terrain data for Terragen software.
  • Data Type: Contains elevation maps with 16-bit precision for realistic topography.
  • Texture Support: Embeds multiple texture layers for diffuse, specular, and displacement effects.
  • Node Structure: Uses parametric nodes for non-destructive terrain editing.

TER File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application can read and import TER terrain data using the Open Asset Import Library. This enables smooth and reliable conversion of terrain models from TER files into a wide range of 3D formats, including STL, OBJ, SKP, DAE, STEP, and others. Transform your Terragen landscapes into versatile 3D assets with our TER converters 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!
