The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 3DE 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 3Data Expert

Programs to open 3DE file
Remember to download programs supporting 3DE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 3Data Expert with 3DE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the 3DE file to open in the 3Data Expert 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 3DE file with the 3Data Expert application.
Step 3. Update 3Data Expert to the latest version
If, despite the association of the 3Data Expert program with the DeskArtes 3D file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the DeskArtes Oy website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 3DE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to 3DE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 3DE file. Sometimes virus-infected 3DE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the 3DE file. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged 3DE files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact DeskArtes Oy
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted 3DE 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the 3DE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 3DE file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
