Questions & Answers
ZAE files: Frequently Asked Questions
What are ZAE files?
A ZAE file is a compressed archive used to package 3D models created with SketchUp, typically containing a SKP file along with associated resources such as textures, components, and metadata. The ZAE format is based on ZIP compression, allowing for easier sharing, archiving, and integration of complex 3D scenes in a single, portable file. ZAE files are especially useful for exchanging 3D content in environments where all linked assets need to be preserved — such as architectural visualization, game development, and collaborative design workflows.
Can reaConverter open ZAE files?
reaConverter fully supports the ZAE file format – open, edit, and export ZAE files to any other popular file format with ease.
Do I need 3D or CAD software to convert ZAE files?
No. reaConverter reads ZAE files on its own, so the conversion needs no Blender, 3ds Max or Maya installation. It runs offline on your PC and handles whole folders at once, which suits model libraries, supplier deliveries and product ranges that have to reach people working in other software.
