The SCN file extension is associated with Autodesk Civil 3D and AutoCAD, Autodesk's computer-aided design software.
An SCN file contains a surface slope definition used by the related Autodesk software. It is stored as ASCII text.
Open the file with compatible Autodesk software. Autodesk Civil 3D is the primary application associated with this format; related AutoCAD installations for Windows or macOS may also provide access where the relevant functionality is available.
Because the file is an ASCII-text definition, it can also be viewed in a text editor, although editing it there may make it unusable in Autodesk software.
An SCN file is a specialized surface slope definition, so it normally has no useful standalone conversion to another file format.
Use Autodesk Civil 3D to apply or recreate the definition in a project, then export the resulting design data using the software's supported export options.

The scn file extension is associated with SOFTIMAGE|XSI. A scene file can contain the elements of a 3D project, such as models, objects, cameras, lights, animation data and scene settings.
SOFTIMAGE|XSI was advanced 3D animation software used in game development, film and television production. Softimage was acquired by Autodesk, which later discontinued the product.
Because Softimage XSI is no longer developed or supported as a current product, this format is mainly encountered in older projects. The scene may also require other files referenced by the project, such as textures or external assets.
Open the scn file with SOFTIMAGE|XSI on Microsoft Windows. Use a version compatible with the scene and ensure that any externally referenced project files are available in their expected locations.
Current general-purpose 3D applications do not normally open Softimage XSI scene files directly, so an old Softimage installation may be required.
Open the scene in SOFTIMAGE|XSI and use its export commands to save the scene or selected assets in a format supported by another 3D application.
Conversion may not preserve every Softimage-specific feature, including some materials, effects, rigs or animation data.
