X3D to AutoCAD: Resources
Find below an assortment of resources that delve into the interoperability and exchange of X3D and AutoCAD files. These will prove beneficial in the process of converting from X3D to AutoCAD files.
- SketchUp SKP Components and AutoCAD DWG Blocks
- KML and KMZ Files in AutoCAD DWG Drawings
- Convert Solid, Surface, Polyface Mesh to Polygon Mesh in AutoCAD
- Import and Export STL, OBJ, 3DS, PLY, 3DM, SKP, IGES, and STEP Files
- Import and Export of Map Files in AutoCAD
- Import KML Google Earth Map into DWG AutoCAD
X3D File
The X3D (Extensible 3D) file format is an open-source and royalty-free XML based format, developed and maintained by the Web3D Consortium. It’s designed to store two or three-dimensional models along with various visualization data, including light sources, viewport information, camera properties, special effects, and more. X3D serves as an advanced extension and a replacement for the original VRML file format, which was primarily used in web applications. Both of our X3D file converters, Autoconverter and Automesher Application, allow for the import and export of mesh entities from X3D files. For optimized file sizes, you have the option to use the binary X3DB file format instead of the default text-based X3D file.
AutoCAD Drawing
AutoCAD, a product of Autodesk, is a leading CAD (Computer Aided Design) software program. It supports the native DWG drawing format, which is capable of containing both 2D and 3D geometry data, along with additional project metadata. Our AutoCAD add-ons, Automesher Application and Automapki Application, enable seamless import and export from a wide range of external file formats directly into AutoCAD’s drawing model space. To ensure optimal integration with the AutoCAD environment and efficient translation from external 3D and GIS file formats, we utilize the advanced ObjectARX customization technology for AutoCAD provided by Autodesk.
