A PTX file is a 3D point cloud file format. Containing only vertex positional information about the 3D object allows the format to remain simple and easy to implement in 3D modeling applications where only positional data is required.
Inside a PTX file is plain ASCII content containing each vertex position on a single line of the text document. It is also possible to specify a color for the point, allowing for full-color point clouds to be stored and rendered.
Support for opening and displaying PTX files is limited; however, there are various specialist 3D applications that work with point clouds that can be used to open PTX files.
PTX Converter Capabilities
When converting 3D model or mesh files using our PTX converter, we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.

A SKP file is the native file format for the popular SketchUp 3D modeling application. SketchUp is a growing platform, popular with industrial architechs and 3D design enthusiasts alike who like the ease with which complex 3D models can be produced.
The SKP format is capable of storing complex 3D models and their associated geometric data, such as vertices, edges, faces, materials, and much more. The format is well supported, and it receives updates containing new features on a regular basis.
Due to its popularity, the SKP format is supported by many 3D modeling applications via an import option, and where an import option may be missing, our own SKP conversion tools can convert to and from the most popular 3D formats.
