M3D to SHP Conversion
What are M3D files?
M3D file format is a proprietary 3D model file format used by the M3D software for 3D printing. It contains information about the geometry, textures, and colors of a 3D model, and can be used to produce physical objects using a 3D printer. However, it is not widely supported by other 3D modeling or printing software.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
