| Extension | VTP |
| Full Name | Visualization Toolkit |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
| Format | Binary |
The VTP file format is the successor to the older VTK format. Updated to store data in a structured XML format rather than the bespoke plain text structure of the VTK format. The same 3D elements that could be stored within a VTK file can be transferred to the VTP format.
As VTP files are based on plain text XML, binary 3D model data can be encoded using the Base64 encoding method, which allows binary data to exist within plain text structures such as XML. This binary model data consists of common 3D geometric elements such as vertices, faces, and surface material information.
The VTP format also allows 3D model data to be stored in a compressed format prior to the Base64 encoding process to help reduce the overall file size. VTP files can be imported into several 3D editing applications, and we have a set of VTP conversion tools to convert these files to other popular 3D formats, such as STL.
VTP Converter Capabilities
Our VTP 3D Model/Mesh tool does not support any color material data contained within VTP files, so the converted file will not contain any color information.
| Extension | SKP |
| Full Name | SketchUp |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
| Format | Binary |
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.
SKP Converter Capabilities
Our 3D conversion tool does not support color or material information in SKP files, so your file will not contain any color information.
