How to Convert ZWCAD to U3D?
Exporting ZWCAD drawings to U3D has never been this fast or accurate - just follow our simple 3-step process:
📥 Install Automesher Application
Download and install Automesher Application for AutoCAD, BricsCAD, GstarCAD, or ZWCAD - it adds the AmExportMesh command needed to export U3D files directly from ZWCAD drawings. Restart your CAD software after installation to load the plugin.
▶️ Run U3D Export Command
Type AmExportMesh in the command line and press Enter. Select the 3D entities you want to export from the ZWCAD model space - supported types include Polyface Mesh, Polygon Mesh, 3D Solid, and 3D Face - then press Enter again to confirm the selection.
💾 Save as U3D File
In the save dialog, select U3D (*.u3d, *.idtf) as the output format, choose your destination folder and filename, then click Save. Automesher converts the selected ZWCAD entities and writes them to your file.

Universal 3D Model Exchange - U3D File Format
The Universal 3D (U3D) format is an open, royalty-free 3D file standard designed for efficient sharing of 3D models across different platforms and applications. Originally developed by the 3D Industry Forum and now standardized by ECMA International (ECMA-363), U3D files offer compressed storage of 3D triangular meshes, along with attributes like color, transparency, and texture mapping. U3D is widely known for enabling interactive 3D graphics directly within PDF documents.
Main Features of U3D Files
- Open and Royalty-Free: Maintained as an international standard, ensuring no licensing fees for developers and users.
- 3D PDF Support: Integrates seamlessly with PDF files (ISO 32000 standard), allowing users to embed, view, and interact with 3D models inside Adobe Acrobat Reader and other compatible viewers.
- Efficient Compression: Stores 3D geometry and properties in a compact, binary format optimized for fast transmission and document embedding.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Enables 3D model viewing across Windows, macOS, and Linux without requiring proprietary software.
Convert U3D Files to Other 3D Formats
Easily convert U3D models to popular 3D formats with our Autoconverter and Automesher Application. Powered by Intel's open-source IFX library, our solutions allow high-fidelity two-way conversion between U3D and formats like STL, OBJ, SKP (SketchUp), DAE (Collada), STEP, and X3D.
