IFC files mostly belong to AutoCAD from Autodesk. Files with IFC Enterprise Archive File are usually 3D models of buildings. Such files are based on the Industry Foundation Classes format (IFC), which typically contains 3D architectural models, shapes, spatial elements and materials. The IFC format provides interoperability with a consistent 3D asset data exchange format between BIM (building information modeling) software such as AutoCAD. The IFC format is the official ISO standard defined in ISO 16739-1:2018. Some 3D files with IFC Enterprise Archive File are STEP files, which are also based on the IFC format. All Image, a software that creates disk image backups for Windows operating systems, uses IFC Enterprise Archive File to store compressed disk images.
The PLY format is a 3D model format developed and released in 1994, primarily used to store 3D data from 3D digital scanners. The format, also known as the Polygon File Format and Stanford Triangle Format, can be either binary or text-based.
The file format stores 3D geometric information, such as vertices, faces, vertex normals, colors, and other custom data. Many PLY models still use this format, available for download, and PLY files can be loaded into popular 3D applications such as Blender.
