What is 3DM?
3DM is the native file of Rhino, used widely in industrial, jewellery and architectural design. It stores NURBS surfaces, SubD objects, meshes and block instances.
DAE, also called COLLADA, is an XML scene format with meshes, materials and scene hierarchy. It is still used by SketchUp exports, Second Life and some older game pipelines.
Full name
COLLADA (Digital Asset Exchange)
Type
3D scene (meshes, materials)
Used in
SketchUp, Blender, Second Life, Google Earth, older game engines
Rhino saves a display mesh for every surface it has shown in shaded view. We use those meshes. If a file was saved with "Save Small", open it in Rhino, switch to shaded view and save it again.
