Convert ZWCAD to IV - 3-Step Drawing Conversion You Can Trust

ZWCAD to IV Conversion

Exporting ZWCAD drawings to IV? It's fast, easy, and only takes three simple steps:

1. Install Automesher Application

   Export IV files directly from ZWCAD drawings using Automesher Application - simply install the plugin and restart your CAD editor.

2. Execute IV Export

   Launch the export process by typing AmExportMesh in the command line. Then, select the desired 3D entities (Polyface Mesh, Polygon Mesh, 3D Solid, or 3D Face) from your ZWCAD model space.

3. Save as IV File

   Select IV (*.iv) as file type, choose location, enter name, and click Save to export.

IV Inventor File

The IV format is a 3D graphics file standard developed by Silicon Graphics (SGI) for representing complete 3D scenes. As a text-based format, it stores hierarchical scene graphs containing geometric shapes, materials, lighting, textures, and environment properties. Closely tied to the Open Inventor toolkit, this format served as a foundational C++ library for 1990s 3D graphics development.

Key Features of IV

• File Structure: Uses human-readable ASCII encoding with nested node hierarchies that organize 3D scene elements.
• Format Origin: Developed by Silicon Graphics in the early 1990s as the native file format for their Open Inventor 3D graphics toolkit.
• Scene Representation: Implements a directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure to define parent-child relationships between 3D objects.
• Visual Attributes: Stores comprehensive material definitions including ambient/diffuse/specular colors, shininess, and transparency.
• Texture Mapping: Supports both procedural and image-based textures with UV coordinate mapping.
