POV-Ray RAW Triangle

Use

You can view the POV-Ray RAW Triangle (.raw) files. You can also save to this format.

The .raw format is a simple ASCII file that stores a list of triangles without any further topological information. This format is easy to produce so it is widely used in the computer graphics community.

  • RAW Triangle files contain one triangle per row

  • Each row contains nine floating point numbers that represent the coordinates of the three triangle vertices

  • If in the text there is a non-blank line, which does not contain nine floating point numbers, it is perceived as the name of the object

  • A RAW Triangle file must have the file extension .raw for SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Author to process it properly

  • All points within an object that have identical X, Y, and Z coordinates (coincident vertices) are joined
