HOOPS Exchange Documentation
HOOPS Exchange is a set of software libraries that provide developers with the ability to read and write popular 2D and 3D formats from within their application. Exchange reads CAD data from the most popular 3D file formats and converts that 3D data to the PRC data format, a highly compressible and open file format that has been certified by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO 14739-1:2014). PRC is also one of the container formats used for 3D in Adobe PDF.
