How to open PVTS file?
The most common problem when using Visualization Toolkit Parallel Structured Points Data is that a specific PVTS is not associated with the program. This causes the file PVTS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PVTS 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 Visualization Toolkit (VTK)
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Visualization Toolkit (VTK) is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Visualization Toolkit (VTK) in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PVTS files.
Programs to open PVTS file
Remember to download programs supporting PVTS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Visualization Toolkit (VTK) with PVTS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PVTS file to open in the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 PVTS file with the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) application.
Step 3. Update Visualization Toolkit (VTK) to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) program, it is possible that Visualization Toolkit Parallel Structured Points Data requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Kitware, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PVTS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The PVTS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PVTS file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PVTS or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PVTS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PVTS files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PVTS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Kitware, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PVTS except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the PVTS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PVTS to close. However, some background programs may block the PVTS file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
