Exporting to x3d

ParaView Support
1

Hi guys.

I have a little problem when I try to export a file to .x3d. The error I get when I try to export is:

ERROR: In C:\bbd\ecd3383f\build\superbuild\paraview\src\VTK\IO\Export\vtkX3DExporter.cxx, line 149
vtkPVX3DExporter (000002519C876CF0): unable to open X3D file C:/Users/Kenneth’s Leket?y/Desktop/ParaView-5.8.0-RC1-Windows-Python3.7-msvc2015-64bit/ParaView-5.8.0-RC1-Windows-Python3.7-msvc2015-64bit/bin/TestUtvik.x3d

The way I tried to export it was “File” -> “Export scene…” -> names the file and choose .x3d as files of type.

The files I want to exports are 3 .vtk files.

Hope someone can help me with my little problem.

No problem here.

Could you try to export to a path with only ANSI char in it where you have permission to write ?
eg: C:/tmp

oh it worked. Thank you!

This bug is being worked on by @todoooo.

How timely. Is the latest build of Paraview being used?

6

I am using ParaView 5.8.0-RC1

7

You’ll need to build Paraview against the latest version of VTK in the master branch to fix this or wait for a new official release.

8

Note that you can always get "master’ on the paraview.org webpage, under Downloads, then Nightly.

ParaView 5.8.0 will not include the fix. Nightly is your best bet until 5.9 comes out, which is scheduled for rough September 2020.

Hello Everyone.

I tried to do the same but I got a different message

ERROR: In C:\glr\builds\paraview\paraview-ci\build\superbuild\paraview\src\VTK\IO\Export\vtkX3DExporter.cxx, line 149
vtkPVX3DExporter (000001B8CD348370): unable to open X3D file C:/Program Files/ParaView 5.10.0-RC1-Windows-Python3.9-msvc2017-AMD64/blender.x3d

Thank in advance for any Help

You probably need administrator rights to write to C:/Program Files/ParaView 5.10.0-RC1-Windows-Python3.9-msvc2017-AMD64/. Choose a different directory in the file dialog to save it somewhere else.
