Common Questions
Learn which files are supported and how FCStdPreview creates Finder previews.
Q1: Which files does FCStdPreview support?
A: FCStdPreview supports .FCStd project files and displays the thumbnail already saved inside each file.
Q2: Why doesn’t my FCStd file show a preview?
A: The file may not contain a saved thumbnail. Open the project in the application that created it, save it again, and then return to Finder.
Q3: Does FCStdPreview render the complete 3D model?
A: No. FCStdPreview displays the preview image saved inside the project file. It does not open or render the complete 3D model.
