Troubleshoot C3D Files
Frequent C3D Opening Issues
C3Deditor Removed
When trying to open your C3D file, you get the error "Can't Open C3D File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have C3Deditor for %%os%% installed. Your operating system cannot associate your C3D with C3Deditor, so double-clicking the file won't work.
Tip: When another C3D application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Wrong Version of C3Deditor is Installed
Your Coordinate 3D File file is incompatible with C3Deditor because you might have the wrong version installed. If you've got the wrong version of C3Deditor installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is predominately due to having a Coordinate 3D File file version that was created by a newer version of C3Deditor than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: If you right-click on your C3D file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening C3D files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
More Causes of Problems Opening C3Ds

- Corrupt install of C3Deditor or other C3D-related program
- C3D file corruption
- Malware-tainted C3D file can't be opened
