File extension .3DF

File description

3DF file format is used as 3D format. This file format is used to store 3D object information.

This file format is used to view the 3D object. The main purpose of converting other file formats to 3DF format is to secure the data and to reduce the size of the file to make it easy for sharing purposes. This file format allows the user to achieve 78 to 90 percent compression ratio over the original file. This file format is only used to view the object stored in the file and therefore this file stores the rendering information about the file excluding the mesh frame.

Description of the problem

If you have on your computer a .3DF file that you cannot open, you are in exactly the same situation as thousands of other people who have similar problems with this or any other unknown file.

There may be several reasons why you cannot open the file with .3DF extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .3DF file – that you do not have on your computer the appropriate program to open the file.

Solution

From the list below, select the appropriate program, install it and double click on the icon of a file that did not want to open - the problem with the .3DF file extension should be solved. However, if this does not happen, go back to the website to learn about other possible causes of the error, which have been described at the bottom of the website.

Other possible reasons why your .3DF file does not want to open

In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .3DF file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:

1. Incorrect version of the installed application

A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .3DF file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .3DF file, so download the update and check again.

2. Incorrect .3DF file association with the program

If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:

Right-click the .3DF file
Go to the "Open with" - then "Choose default program ..."
Locate the appropriate application
Click "OK"

3. The file is corrupt

It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
