Importing and Exporting
3DCrafter, 3DCrafter Plus and 3DCrafter Pro provide the ability to import and export many popular 3D
file formats. But not all import and export formats are created equal, and
3DCrafter's
support of each format is not equal, so selecting the most appropriate format can reduce
the amount of time required touching up a model after import or export.
What follows is a list of 3D export and import formats
that are available with 3DCrafter, 3DCrafter Plus and 3DCrafter Pro.
