How to open VVD file?

The main problem with Vivid 3D Scanner Element Format is that the VVD file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open VVD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VVD 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 Polygon Editing Tool

The first step is to check if the computer has the Polygon Editing Tool program installed. To do this, enter the name Polygon Editing Tool into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file VVD.

Programs to open VVD file

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

Step 2. Create association of Polygon Editing Tool with VVD files

If, despite the installed application, the VVD file does not start in the Polygon Editing Tool application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VVD file with the Polygon Editing Tool program.

Step 3. Update Polygon Editing Tool to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Polygon Editing Tool program with the Vivid 3D Scanner Element Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Konica Minolta Holdings, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VVD file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VVD file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VVD file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VVD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the VVD files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ability to automatically repair VVD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Konica Minolta
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file VVD 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move VVD to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VVD file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
