FAQ
ASK to SHP Conversion
What are ASK files?
The ASK format is associated with Autodesk's 3ds Max, the popular software for 3D modelling, animation and rendering, widely used by creators of video games, TV commercials, movie effects, and architectural plans. ASK is also known as an ASCII Scene Export (ASE) format, containing 3D graphical data that can be transferred.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
