What is a A3D file?
A3D files are associated with Amapi software. A3D is a 3D graphics format used for creating high-end 3D models.
Amapi is an obsolete software – the project was discontinued several years ago. Some tools are capable of converting A3D files to similar image formats. The last version of Eovia Amapi was released in 2006 and is not compatible with Windows 10.

How to open A3D files
If you cannot open the A3D file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports A3D among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the A3D file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the A3D format files
The inability to open and operate the A3D file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Amapi 3D Modeling file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a A3D file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the A3D file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the A3D from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the A3D format
- The A3D file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the A3D file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a A3D file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the A3D file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the A3D file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the A3D file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.A3D) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected A3D file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the A3D file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. A3D) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
