Vector Art 3D viewer

I downloaded the viewer but none of the files I have appear in the "FILE OPEN" box. I'm attaching one of the files I have. :?:

Phil, the viewer works only with V3V files (Not V3M) these can be downloaded for every model on the site (for free) from below its style image. For instance if you look at this page of a recently added skull mount: http://www.vectorart3d.com/store/index. ... l&ID=50447 below each iamge you see a button which says Free 3D Preview. Click on this and it will ask you where you want to save the file. If you rename it be sure to put a .v3v on the end of the new name because your brower probably won't. If you have downloaded files like this and cannot see them perhaps it is because they do not have a .v3v extension on the file in which case the software/windows will not see them. Just make sure to rename adding the .v3v and all should be well. If I misunderstood or you have other questions please let me know?

Thanks,
James

PS - for others reading this who want a copy of the Viewer software (free) then you can download it here: http://www.vectorart3d.com/index.cfm/Free_3D_Viewer.htm
