This Converter creates text files containing information about an object. You can view this file with any text editor or word processor. It adds one entry to the conversion lists:

Statistics .txt

Instead of a 3D object, this Converter creates a text file that describes the details of an object. At the top of the file, there is information about the entire scene. Then follows optional information about each sub-object, including its name, number of points, polygons, etc., and bounding box dimensions and its relationship in the hierarchy to other objects.

Options dialog

If Materials is set, details of materials are included. Part of each material description is an English version of the diffuse color.

If Hierarchy is set, then a cascading chart of the parent-child hierarchy of objects is included.

If Points is set, all point coordinates of objects are included. At the left of each coordinate is the index of the point, as shown later in the edge and polygon lists.

If UVs is set, then the lists of texture map UV coordinates are included, if present in the object.

If Edges is set, then the indexes of all edges in all polygons are included. If Edge details is set, then the coordinates of the points of each edge are shown.

If Polygons is set, info about all polygons is included. For each polygon, its material index is shown, along with the indexes of all points that make up that polygon. Selecting Polygon points causes the point coordinates to be listed. Polygon material names shows the material name as well as the material index. Polygon UV points shows the UV values instead of just the UV indexes.

Background
This file format is subject to change in each release of Interchange. It is not meant to be a standard 3D file format, although some users find it a convenient method of extracting rich 3D information from other file formats.
