How to open 3DC file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 3DC file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install NNG device via USB connection

In this case, you should first verify that the NNG device via USB connection application is installed on the computer.

Programs to open 3DC file

Remember to download programs supporting 3DC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of NNG device via USB connection with 3DC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the 3DC file to open in the NNG device via USB connection application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the 3DC file with the NNG device via USB connection program.

Step 3. Update NNG device via USB connection to the latest version

If, however, after binding NNG device via USB connection with IGO 3D Building Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 3DC file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The 3DC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to 3DC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our 3DC file. Sometimes virus-infected 3DC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of 3DC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular 3DC file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 3DC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the 3DC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the 3DC file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
