FAQ
001 to U3D Conversion
What are 001 files?
001 is the file extension of the first update to an electronic navigational chart (ENC) in the IHO S-57 format. Sea charts change all the time: a buoy is moved, a wreck is found, a channel is dredged, a depth is corrected. Instead of sending the whole chart again, the hydrographic office issues a small update file that lists only what is new, changed, or removed, and the first of them has the extension .001. The file has the same name as the base chart cell, whose extension is .000, and it cannot be used on its own. Later updates follow as .002, .003, and so on. Most of these changes correspond to the official Notices to Mariners.
What are U3D files?
U3D (Universal 3D) is a standardized file format used to store and exchange 3D models and scenes. It supports geometry, textures, colors, lighting, and animations, allowing complex 3D content to be represented efficiently. U3D is best known for its use in interactive PDF documents, where users can rotate, zoom, and explore embedded 3D models. The format is widely used in engineering, architecture, manufacturing, medical imaging, and scientific visualization.
