Direct3D File
Developed by Microsoft in 1995 as part of DirectX for Windows 95, this format stores 3D mesh geometry along with materials and textures. It served as the original interchange format for DirectX’s graphics and multimedia APIs.
Key Features of X
- Origin: Developed by Microsoft in 1995 as part of DirectX.
- Geometry: Stores 3D mesh data including vertices, faces, and normals.
- Animation: Supports skeletal animation with bone hierarchies and skinning weights.
- UV Mapping: Includes texture coordinate data for applied images.
X File Conversion
Autoconverter and Automesher Application enable effortless conversion of X files to your native 3D environment, including STL, OBJ, 3DM, SKP, STEP, and other industry-standard formats to bridge DirectX assets with CAD, 3D printing, and computational design workflows. Need to modernize legacy X files? Our X file converters ensure smooth transitions to contemporary workflows.
SketchUp File
A versatile 3D modeling format, native for SketchUp, initially developed by Google and now actively maintained by Trimble. Known for its efficiency and ease of use, SKP files are widely utilized in architecture, interior design, engineering, and product development.
Key Benefits and Features
- 3D Model Data: SKP files support reusable geometry components, named mesh groups, and textured materials, enabling efficient modeling workflows. The ability to reuse components can significantly speed up the design process, making SKP files a valuable asset in both architectural and product design workflows.
- Version Compatibility: Different SKP file versions have different requirements for conversion. For example, SKP file version 16 and above need Win64 build, while earlier versions can use Win32 build. It is important for users to be aware of these SKP version-specific requirements to ensure seamless SketchUp file sharing and collaboration.
- Scalability: Whether you are designing a small furniture piece or an extensive urban landscape, SKP files efficiently handle models of varying complexity and scale. SketchUp's optimization ensures smooth performance even for large, detailed 3D scenes.
SKP File Conversion
SKP files can be saved and converted across multiple versions, from SketchUp 3 to SketchUp 2025, with the help of our Autoconverter, a powerful tool ensuring high accuracy and efficiency. Autoconverter allows users to convert SKP files between different versions, facilitating collaboration across various SketchUp versions and ensuring that designs can be accessed and modified regardless of the specific version used by different team members.
