Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model 123DX Files to PLY

Here we detail how to convert your 123DX file to an PLY file using the export options found within the 123D Design application. Currently, our converters cannot convert directly from 123DX to PLY. However,  using the built-in export functions of 123D Design, we can achieve the conversion.

Firstly, you will need to load your 123DX file into 123D Design and select the export to STEP option. Once you have your file in the STEP format, you can use our STEP to PLY converter to complete the conversion process.

Description

The PLY format is a 3D model format originally developed and released in 1994, with its primary use being to store three-dimensional data from 3D digital scanners. The format known as the Polygon File Format or the Stanford Triangle Format can be either a binary or text-based format.

The file format stores 3D geometric information such as vertices, faces, vertex normals, color, and other custom data. The format is still in use, with many PLY models available to download, and PLY files can be loaded into most popular 3D applications, such as Blender.

PLY Notes

PLY files support per-vertex color information. If your uploaded model contains color information, our tool will attempt to save this in the PLY file at the end of the conversion process.

Supported Features

  • Mesh geometry
  • Vertex colors
  • Binary and text versions are supported when converting from PLY
  • Binary-only version when converting to PLY
