DWG (from drawing) is a proprietary [3] binary file format used for storing two- and three- dimensional design data and metadata.It is the native format for several CAD packages including DraftSight, AutoCAD, ZWCAD, IntelliCAD (and its variants), Caddie and Open Design Alliance compliant applications.
UVW mapping is a mathematical technique for coordinate mapping. [1] In computer graphics, it most commonly maps an object's surface in to a solid texture with UVW coordinates in , in contrast to UV mapping, which maps surfaces in to an image with UV coordinates in .
An elevation is a common method of depicting the external configuration and detailing of a 3-dimensional object in two dimensions. Building façades are shown as elevations in architectural drawings and technical drawings. Elevations are the most common orthographic projection for conveying the appearance of a building from the exterior.
CAD data exchange is a method of drawing data exchange used to translate between different computer-aided design authoring systems or between CAD and other downstream CAx systems. [ 1 ] : 157 Many companies use different CAD systems and exchange CAD data file format with suppliers, customers, and subcontractors. [ 2 ]
SketchUp is a 3D modeling software that is used to create and manipulate 3D models. It is used in architecture and interior design.. SketchUp is owned by Trimble Inc. The software has a free web-based version, and three paid subscriptions to gain access to applications for Windows and macOS.
PRC (Product Representation Compact) is a file format that can be used to embed 3D data in a PDF file.. This highly compressed format facilitates the storage of different representations of a 3D model.
Triangulated irregular network TIN overlaid with contour lines. In computer graphics, a triangulated irregular network (TIN) [1] is a representation of a continuous surface consisting entirely of triangular facets (a triangle mesh), used mainly as Discrete Global Grid in primary elevation modeling.
AutoCAD DXF (Drawing Interchange Format, or Drawing Exchange Format) is a CAD data file format developed by Autodesk [2] for enabling data interoperability between AutoCAD on different platforms. [ 3 ]
