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.

XYZ Point Cloud File

A file extension that is used for ASCII text files that contain point cloud data. Point cloud data is a collection of 3D points that represent the shape of an object or a scene. Each row in an XYZ file consists of 3D point coordinates, typically separated by a special character like a TAB.

Key Features of XYZ

• Data Structure:

  Each line represents one point (X Y Z coordinates).

• Minimalism:

  No headers, metadata, or binary encoding.

• No Topology:

  Pure vertex data without mesh connections.

• Industry Use:

  Common in surveying, autonomous vehicles, and heritage preservation.

XYZ File Conversion

Autoconverter reconstructs polygonal meshes creating lightweight surface approximations ideal for visualization and 3D printing. For engineering and manufacturing applications requiring mathematical precision, Autoshaper generates smooth NURBS surfaces directly from XYZ point data, providing the accurate surface representation needed for CAD/CAM workflows.
