ConvertToLDraw convert 3D models into LDraw pieces

[Hageta]

ConvertToLDraw is a Software I created to convert a variety of 3D file formats to the LDraw format.
Here are some of its features:
-load formats with colour and submodels
-edit the colour of subparts and multicolour objects.
-textures are converted to vertex colours.
-3D preview of the part

The software has 3 tabs.

The "Main Part" tab containing the import/export and the metadata settings:
   

The "Colours and Subparts" tab here the names and colours of subparts can be changed:
   

The "Part Preview" tab shows a 3D view of the main part or a subpart:
   

This software is available on GitHub:

I have enabled the issue feature in the GitHub repo and added some issues with features for future versions.

Now, this sounds interesting! Could you please list the supported file formats? There is nothing in the readme. Does it also convert a Studio file back to LDraw maintaining all refs?

I use trimesh to load 3D models and the following file types should work:
*.stl  *.3mf *.obj *.off *.ply *.gltf *.glb *.xaml *.stp *.step *.dae
and these filetypes may work:
*.brep *.igs *.iges *.bdf *.msh *.inp *.diff *.mesh
The program should theoretically be able to load anything trimesh can load.

The filetypes I actually tested are: *.stl, *.3mf, *.obj, *.ply
I cannot garanty that all possible variations of these filetypes work.

One problem I have found is, that colour in 3mf files can not be loaded.
(There is an issue about it and I try to fix that in a future version)
