IFC to X3D Conversion

Step-by-step instructions to help you transform IFC into X3D with ease:

  1. Download & Install:

    Convert your IFC files to X3D format seamlessly using Autoconverter - simply install and launch the software on your system.

  2. Import IFC File:

    Either click Open... to browse for your .ifc file, or drag and drop it anywhere in the application window.

  3. Export to X3D Format:

    Use Save As... to specify both location and filename (with .x3d extension) for your exported file.

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.

X3D Extensible 3D File

An open-source, royalty-free standard developed by the Web3D Consortium. X3D uses XML encoding to represent 3D scenes and models. This versatile format excels in web-based 3D graphics, offering real-time rendering capabilities, animation support, and seamless integration with HTML5. Its extensible design makes it ideal for VR/AR applications, engineering visualizations, and interactive simulations.

Key Features of X3D/X3DB

  • Legacy:

    Direct successor to VRML with backward compatibility.

  • Web Integration:

    Designed for HTML5 (X3DOM, Three.js compatibility).

  • Scene Graph:

    Hierarchical organization of nodes (transformations, groups, etc.).

  • File Structure:

    XML-based encoding with human-readable/textual representation.

X3D/X3DB File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application offer full support for X3D file conversion, ensuring smooth interoperability between X3D and major 3D formats like STL, OBJ, SKP, 3DS, and STEP. Using our effective X3D converters you can easily transfer mesh models to and from this web-friendly 3D standard while preserving geometry, materials, and scene hierarchy.
