OBJ Import for IntelliCAD is an Alias® Wavefront OBJ file import plug-in for IntelliCAD® powered applications. This plug-in gives IntelliCAD powered applications the ability to import geometric data from OBJ files.

Alias (now part of Autodesk) is the world's leading innovator of 2D/3D graphics technology for the film, video, games, interactive media, industrial design, automotive industry and visualization markets. Their OBJ ASCII file format is widely accepted the world over for exchanging data between CAD applications. OBJ files contain objects which are made up of groups of 3 or 4 sided faces. OBJ Import for IntelliCAD converts these groups of faces into PolyFace Mesh entities and adds them to the active drawing.

OBJ Import for IntelliCAD is very easy to use. Once installed, it must be loaded into the IntelliCAD environment. Follow the simple instructions in the Getting Started document which can be found in the installation folder. Once loaded it adds new commands to IntelliCAD's existing commands and a new submenu called "OBJImport" to the IntelliCAD menu containing these newly added commands.

The OBJ File Format

The OBJ file format is a geometry definition file format first developed by Wavefront Technologies for its Advanced Visualizer animation package. The file format is open and has been adopted by other 3D graphics application vendors, making it a universally accepted geometry file format. The OBJ file format is a simple data format that represents 3D geometry alone - namely, the position of each vertex, the texture coordinate associated with a vertex, the normal at each vertex, and the faces that make each polygon.
