When opening a .3dxml file, the error message "error while
loading..." appears.
This error message is displayed in several situations: if the 3D XML
syntax of the .3dxml file is incorrect if the 3D XML file contains links
to unknown elements or resources if the geometry representation data is
corrupted For versioning problems, you should see a warning or error
message indicating that you can download of the last version of the 3D
XML Player on http://www.3ds.com/3dxml.
The 3D XML Player starts opening a valid .3dxml file and exits before
any user action.
In some rare configurations, the 3D XML Player may exit without a
warning message while loading valid 3D XML files. This is due to the
graphic card parameters and can be solved by the setting the right
configuration profile. To do so: - Right click your desktop and select
Properties from the Menu - Select Settings / Advanced / Configuration -
Go to your video card's panel - Set the Configuration Profiles to "CATIA"
or
"CATIA Version 5"
Models containing materials does not have the expected visualization.
Models containing materials with reflection may not open correctly in
the 3D XML Player. This is a limitation due to the way the materials were
saved.
