How to Convert ZWCAD to PLYEffortlessly export ZWCAD drawings to PLY - our custom exporter makes it that simple:
📥 Install Automesher Application
Export PLY mesh files directly from ZWCAD drawings using Automesher Application - simply install the plugin and restart your CAD software.
▶️ Execute PLY Export
Enter AmExportMesh in the command line. Then, select the 3D entities (e.g., Polyface Mesh, Polygon Mesh, 3D Solid, or 3D Face) from your ZWCAD model space that you want to export.
💾 Save as PLY Mesh File
Select PLY (*.ply) as file type, choose the destination folder and file name, then click Save to complete the export.

PLY File Format - Polygon File for 3D Mesh Models
The PLY file format (Polygon File Format), also known as the Stanford Triangle Format, is a versatile and lightweight standard for storing 3D mesh data. Originally developed at Stanford University, PLY files are widely used in 3D scanning, computer vision, and scientific visualization thanks to their flexibility and support for both ASCII and binary encodings.
Key Features of PLY Files
- Mesh Structure: Supports detailed geometry with vertices, polygons, and triangle faces.
- Rich Metadata: Stores color (RGB), normals, transparency, texture coordinates, and user-defined custom attributes.
- Dual Encoding: Offers ASCII for human readability and binary for efficient storage and performance.
PLY File Converters
Autoconverter provides fast, reliable PLY file conversion to a wide range of 3D formats including STL, OBJ, FBX, STEP, and SKP. Our PLY converter preserves mesh topology, color data, and optional attributes - perfect for use in CAD software, game engines, and 3D scanning workflows. Drag and drop to convert PLY files quickly and accurately - no data loss, no hassle.
