| InnovMetric Software 3D Polygon Models Format | N/A | Data Files |
The .POL file type is a 3D polygon model used by InnovMetric Software. This file format contains 3D data structures including meshes, polygons, points, and curves. The files are created using the Polygonization 3D algorithm. It is often used to generate 3D models of objects for virtual reality applications.
Features
The POL file format was developed to store objects in a specific file type so they could be shared to different applications without losing any data. Additionally, the 3D model data is stored as coordinates and vectors with a minimum memory footprint, allowing for the creation of larger scenes than other formats typically offer. Furthermore, it supports many attributes of the object such as color, texture, opacity, and surface properties. The software includes an integrated set of tools for creating and editing 3D models which can be exported in a variety of formats, including .STL, .VRML, and .OBJ.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .POL) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .POL extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .POL file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .POL extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .POL extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .POL file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .POL file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .POL file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .POL file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .POL file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
