XYZ XYZ File - 3D Point Cloud Data Format

An XYZ file is an ASCII text format used for storing 3D point cloud data. Each line in an XYZ file contains a set of X, Y, and Z coordinates, representing a specific point in three-dimensional space. These files capture the shape, size, and surface characteristics of real-world objects or environments, and are typically separated by tabs or spaces for easy parsing. Point clouds generated from laser scans, photogrammetry, or LIDAR are often stored in the XYZ format due to its simplicity and compatibility.

Key Features of XYZ Files

  • Simple Data Structure: Each row contains exactly one point with X, Y, and Z coordinate values.
  • Lightweight Format: No complex headers, metadata, or compression - just pure spatial data, making it fast and easy to process.
  • No Connectivity Information: XYZ files store points independently without defining surfaces or edges between them.
  • Widely Used in Industry: Commonly applied in surveying, autonomous vehicle navigation, construction, archaeology, and heritage preservation for capturing detailed 3D environments.

Convert XYZ Point Clouds to 3D Models

Our Autoconverter software intelligently reconstructs polygonal meshes from XYZ point cloud files, creating lightweight 3D surfaces optimized for visualization, analysis, and 3D printing. For advanced CAD/CAM workflows, Autoshaper transforms XYZ data into smooth NURBS surfaces, delivering mathematically accurate 3D models suitable for engineering and manufacturing applications.

Convert XYZ files to STL, OBJ, STEP, IGES, and more - bridge the gap between raw point clouds and production-ready 3D models. Try our XYZ point cloud converters today and experience seamless 3D data transformation!

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:

  • 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!
