.IV Files not showing up
I'm new to FreeCAD and I've recently gotten into game design however I'm trying to port over some models which are in the .IV format by importing them then exporting them however nothing shows up?

Re: .IV Files not showing up
Is there anything I could do about this then?
Re: .IV Files not showing up
I do not know any details, but that file is binary.
FreeCAD can import ASCII Inventor files, but I doubt it can deal with a binary format.

Re: .IV Files not showing up
It looks like the file is invalid because according to https://developer.openinventor.com/User ... ormat.html it must start with the line #Inventor V2.0 binary but when opening it in a hex editor you can see it doesn't.
Re: .IV Files not showing up
How would I make it suitable for this then and is there a way to convert it to ascii?

Re: .IV Files not showing up
is it possible to ask the creator of the file for a different format?
