Convert between AEC file formats
Which AEC software in the catalog imports one format and exports another? This hub maps every format documented across the whole catalog on both axes -- an exhaustive import x export matrix no directory holds. Deep-dive pages exist for the most common formats; the diagonal marks native or round-trip support for the same format.
Last updated 2026-09-09.
Import x export interoperability matrix
Axes span every distinct format documented in catalog fileFormats[] -- sorted by
how many tools mention them. Cells light up only when a cataloged tool explicitly documents
both the import side and the export side; blanks mean no documented bridge, not absence.
Rows = import formats; columns = export formats. Use the category toggles to focus the matrix
on the format families you care about.
