What is IVE file?
The file in the IVE format belongs to the 3D Image Files category. The creator of this file is OSG Community. In addition to this file, the 3D Image Files category includes 622 related files. OpenSceneGraph Binary Format is supported by 3 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The OpenSceneGraph application is recommended to open the file. It was released by OpenSceneGraph Developers. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs.
How to open IVE file?
The most common problem when using OpenSceneGraph Binary Format is that a specific IVE is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that IVE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IVE 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 OpenSceneGraph
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that OpenSceneGraph is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name OpenSceneGraph in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support IVE files.
Programs to open IVE file
Remember to download programs supporting IVE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of OpenSceneGraph with IVE files
If, despite the installed application, the IVE file does not start in the OpenSceneGraph application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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 IVE file with the OpenSceneGraph application.
Step 3. Update OpenSceneGraph to the latest version
If, despite the association of the OpenSceneGraph program with the OpenSceneGraph Binary Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the OpenSceneGraph Developers website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IVE file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The IVE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IVE file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IVE file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected IVE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of IVE 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IVE files. You can restore the file from a backup or use OSG Community help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IVE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the IVE file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IVE file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IVE file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
