Analyze Diagnostics > Audit 3DM File |
The Audit3dmFile command displays a tree map of all data tables and entries in a 3DM file and provides a file summary.
- If files are large, damaged, or will not open with the Open command, the Audit3dmFile command might be able to diagnose the problem.
- Use the Rescue3dmFile command to recover geometry objects that can be read from a damaged 3dm file.
