Extract text from HomeByMe projects (BM3)
To convert BM3 projects to another format, you need HomeByMe or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "3D Scene/Project File" file type, you need software like HomeByMe or a similar tool.
The .BM3 file is primarily a 3D home design project created by HomeByMe, a popular web-based space planning and interior design application. Secondary uses include outdated mobile backup files from old Sony Ericsson devices and archives from Backup Manager 3. Internally, the HomeByMe .BM3 file uses standard ZIP compression to bundle 3D assets, textures, and XML or JSON configuration data into a single package.
This format poses significant disadvantages for professional workflows. .BM3 is a proprietary, closed ecosystem format. You cannot directly import a .BM3 file into professional CAD or 3D modeling software like Blender, SketchUp, or AutoCAD without losing structural integrity or textures. Users are usually forced to pay for premium subscriptions within the HomeByMe web platform to export high-resolution JPG renders or standard DXF floor plans.
Because this is a closed, proprietary format, standard online 3D converters completely fail to process it. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the geometric data. However, you can just drag and drop your .BM3 file into convert.guru to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Our engine will detect the underlying ZIP structure of the HomeByMe project, allowing you to bypass the extension lock, inspect the internal contents, and extract embedded texture images or raw XML data without needing a subscription.
Convert.Guru analyzes your BM3 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted DBK, NBF, NFB and BM2 files.
If you want to convert BM3 file to BAK, BACKUP, OLD, TMP, TEMP, ARC, ZIP, TAR, GZ, 7Z, RAR or ISO, you can use HomeByMe or similar software from the "3D Home Design Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SNAPSHOT, OLD, IMG, RESTORE, ISO, COPY, VMDK, TMP, VHD, BAK, ARCHIVE or BACKUP files to BM3, try HomeByMe or another comparable tool in the "3D Home Design Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our BM3 converter.
