.PL File

File extension: PL

File type: 2D and 3D Plot File

Notes about the PL file extension:

To open this file type, a required software must be installed. Without it you only see a Windows message "The following file cannot be opened" (Windows 7) or "How do you want to open this file?" (Windows 10) if you double-click the file. There click on "More apps" and choose a suitable software to view such files on your PC or from email attachments.

The PL file type is primarily associated with 'BRL-CAD' by BRL-CAD Development Team and US Army. BRL-CAD is a cross-platform open source solid modeling system that includes interactive geometry editing, high-performance ray-tracing for rendering and geometric analysis, image and signal-processing tools, a system performance analysis benchmark suite, libraries for geometric representation, and more. The name arose out of the interest of the U.S. Army Ballistic Research Laboratory (BRL) (now the U.S. Army Research Laboratory) in tools that could assist with the computer simulation and engineering analysis of combat vehicle systems and environments.
