Well there are a bunch.
Maybe what you are looking for is: .3DS for 3dstudio
also there is .max for 3D studio max
.DWG and .DXF for AutoCAD
.SHP for 3Dstudio Shape
.WRL and .WRZ for VRML
also .OBJ and .MSH are common 3D file formats

did this help any?

It depends what you are talking about...
There are many many different file formats, each with their own layout.
There is .xyz, which is human readable, but limited...
There is .bsp and .mdl, which are used by the Quake and RTCW games
There are .pov files, which are used by Pov-ray
Almost all of the 3d tools have their own format.

If you are making your own program, you can even make your own format.
The easiest and simplest is the .xyz format, but it is very limited -
I don't think that texturing is possible, or grouping.
