Convert RWP to another file type
To convert your RWP file to another format, you need Trimble RealWorks or other 3D software.
Convert a file to RWP
To convert other file formats to the "Laser Scan Data" file type, you need software like Trimble RealWorks or a similar tool.
About RWP files
The .RWP extension primarily serves two distinct, incompatible ecosystems: high-end 3D surveying and railway simulation gaming.
1. Trimble RealWorks Project (Primary)
In the professional geospatial sector, an .RWP file is a proprietary project database created by Trimble RealWorks. These files house massive 3D point cloud datasets captured by laser scanners.
The Problem: .RWP files are essentially "black boxes." They are locked to the specific version of RealWorks used to create them and cannot be opened directly in industry-standard CAD tools like AutoCAD or BIM software like Revit. Sharing these files with clients or collaborators who do not possess a costly Trimble license is effectively impossible.
The Solution: To make this data usable, you must convert the project entities into interoperable formats.
For CAD/BIM: Convert to E57 (ASTM standard) or RCP (Autodesk ReCap) for seamless integration into modeling workflows.
For GIS: Convert to LAS or LAZ for use in mapping software.
For Visualization: Convert to POD (Pointools) or mesh formats like OBJ.
2. Train Simulator Package (Secondary)
In the gaming world, an .RWP file is a "RailWorks Package" used by Train Simulator Classic (formerly RailWorks). These are compressed containers used to distribute add-on routes, trains, and scenery.
The Problem: The built-in package manager (Utilities.exe) is notoriously slow and prone to freezing on large archives. Users often want to access the raw textures or models inside without undergoing a full installation process.
The Solution: These files are often structurally similar to ZIP archives. Converting or renaming them to ZIP allows you to inspect contents, manually place assets, or troubleshoot corrupt mods without relying on the legacy installer.
Convert.Guru analyzes your RWP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert RWP file to HTML, HTM, CSS, JS, PHP, ASP, ASPX, JSP, JSPX, PY, RB or PL, you can use Trimble RealWorks or similar software from the "3D Point Cloud Project" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert RSS, CSS, CGI, SITEMAP, PL, WEBMANIFEST, JSON, JS, XML, HTML, ICO or HTM files to RWP, try Trimble RealWorks or another comparable tool in the "3D Point Cloud Project" category.
The RWP Converter Story
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 RWP converter.
