Each 3D object is described by two files -- one that specifies the vertices, and the other that specifies how the vertices are connected to form polygons. (a) coor file -- coordinate file specifies the coordinates of vertices. line 1: number of vertices. line 2..n+1: list the x,y,z coordinates of the n points (b) poly file -- polygon file. line 1: number of polygons line 2..n+1: list of vertices for each polygon. first column is just a label for the polygon. the first and last vertices are connected to form a closed polygon.
