FAQ
RSW to U3D Conversion
What are RSW files?
RSW is the image version of the Raster Matrix Format, which is used by the GIS programs Panorama and Integration. While the sibling .mtw file stores elevation grids, an RSW file holds ordinary pictures, such as scanned paper maps, aerial photographs, and satellite images that serve as backgrounds for vector maps. The picture can be either a color-indexed image, in which every pixel points to a color in a table, or a full-color image. The file also stores simple georeferencing, which lets the program place the picture at the right spot on a map. Because the format was made for use inside these systems, it is little known elsewhere, and it is listed in file format registries mostly as a part of the Raster Matrix Format family.
What are U3D files?
U3D (Universal 3D) is a standardized file format used to store and exchange 3D models and scenes. It supports geometry, textures, colors, lighting, and animations, allowing complex 3D content to be represented efficiently. U3D is best known for its use in interactive PDF documents, where users can rotate, zoom, and explore embedded 3D models. The format is widely used in engineering, architecture, manufacturing, medical imaging, and scientific visualization.
