How to open UVW file?
An often recurring problem with 3D Studio MAX UVW Coordinates is that UVW is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that UVW 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 UVW 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 3ds Max
The first step is to check if the computer has the 3ds Max program installed. This can be achieved by typing 3ds Max into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file UVW with 3ds Max. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open UVW files.
Programs to open UVW file
Remember to download programs supporting UVW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 3ds Max with UVW files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the UVW file still does not use the 3ds Max program, it means no 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 UVW file with the 3ds Max application.
Step 3. Update 3ds Max to the latest version
If, however, after binding 3ds Max with 3D Studio MAX UVW Coordinates there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UVW file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the UVW file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the UVW file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover UVW files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the UVW 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular UVW file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file UVW 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move UVW to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the UVW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the UVW file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
