This excludes tessellation-only file types such as STL, as well as Inventor files, whose BREP data cannot be read by the GrabCAD viewer. This is only supported for file types where precise geometry (called BREP) is available. You can select a feature (face, edge, or vertex) and properties will appear around the selection.

The XML and ClassicVRML encodings for X3D (ISO/IEC 19776) were first approved in 2005. The abstract specification for X3D (ISO/IEC 19775) was first approved by the ISO in 2004. The format features extensions to VRML, providing the capability to encode the scene using an XML syntax as well as the Open Inventor-like syntax of VRML97 or binary formatting. X3D has the advantage of encoding colour information (unlike STL) that is used during printing the model on a colour 3D printer. It became successor of VRML file format in 2001. The format supports vector and raster graphics, transparency, lighting effects, and animation settings including rotations, fades, and swings. It is a modular standard and is defined through several ISO specifications.

X3D is an XML based 3D graphics file format for presentation of 3D information.
