Revit

A .rvt file a three-dimensional model created by Autodesk’s Revit. Revit is a building information modeling (BIM) program that is used to create 3D building designs for floor plans, elevations and sections. It offers complete project lifecyle from conceptual design till fabrication and construction.

IGS

An IGS extension (Initial Graphics Exchange) is a 2D or 3D CAD vector file that can store wireframes, surfaces, solids, etc. IGS is mainly used for exchanging CAD drawings based on the Initial IGES (Graphics Exchange Specification) format.

The IGS file structure is based on the ASCII text-based format, which is used in numerous CAD software applications for delivering high-end graphics.

Among CAD applications that support IGS extension are Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk Fusion 360, Dassault Systemes CATIA, and Autodesk Inventor.
