XYZ to IFC
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to the XYZ and IFC interoperability and exchange that can help you with the XYZ to IFC conversion.

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.
IFC File
IFC (Industrial Foundation Classes) file extension is common for AEC (Architecture Engineering Construction) software e.g. Revit from Autodesk or SmartPlant 3D by Intergraph. The IFC file format can store model geometry, measurement units, reusable geometry component instances, material colors with the alpha value, assembly structure with component names and generic BIM (Building Information Modeling) data. With our Autoconverter file converter you can open and save IFC geometries with the custom properties and convert them to another file formats.
