ASE Autodesk Scene Export File

Developed by Autodesk for 3D Studio, the ASCII based ASE format stores comprehensive 3D scene data, including polygonal meshes, material definitions, animation keys, and lighting parameters. As a human-readable text format, it enables manual editing while maintaining compatibility with legacy 3D workflows.

Key Features of ASE

  • Material Data Storage:

    ASE files store material information including colors, textures, and shaders used in 3D scenes.

  • Hierarchical Scene Structure:

    ASE supports parent-child relationships between objects for organizing complex 3D scenes.

  • Transform and Pivot Data:

    Object transformations like position, rotation, scale, and pivot points are stored.

  • No Binary Compression:

    Being text-based, ASE files do not include any binary compression, which makes them larger in size.

ASE File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application leverage the cross-platform open asset import library to seamlessly read, import, and convert ASE files into a variety of 3D formats—including OFF, PLY, 3DM, and SKP - while preserving critical data such as textures, colors, and UV coordinates. This ensures accurate transitions from legacy 3D Studio scenes to modern workflows without losing essential visual or structural details.

IFC Industrial Foundation Classes File

It is an open, ISO-certified standard (ISO 16739) specifically designed for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. As a vendor-neutral format, IFC enables seamless data exchange and interoperability between different software applications, eliminating proprietary barriers in collaborative projects.

IFC Format Capabilities

The IFC format can store comprehensive project data for AEC workflows, including but not limited to:

  • Geometry:

    The IFC standard captures detailed 3D representations through multiple entity types including solids, surfaces, curves, and point clouds.

  • Units:

    Each model component specifies its measurement system (meters, inches, degrees, or radians) for precise interpretation.

  • Materials:

    IFC's material system controls visual properties through RGBA values (0-1 range) for accurate color and transparency settings.

  • Instances:

    Through IFC's mapping system, identical geometries can be referenced multiple times, optimizing storage and performance.

  • Structure:

    IFC organizes projects hierarchically using named components with unique identifiers, enabling complex project management.

  • BIM:

    As a BIM-native (Building Information Modeling) format, IFC stores building information like properties, constraints, and relationships alongside geometry.

IFC File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application support IFC format, allowing you to import and export IFC models seamlessly. You can edit custom properties of IFC geometries and convert them to various 3D file formats. However please note that some IFC-specific features might not be fully supported in other formats and could be lost during conversion.
