What is a PRV file?
PRV file extension is used for storing document files created with E-on Vue spatial modeling software. PRV file allows users to preview created 3D scenes. Files saved in PRV format are generally small in size due to the type of data thay contain.
PRV files, in contrast to the final image, store lower resolution and less detailed images. Main purpose of PRV file is to offer image preview and allow users to correct errors and mistakes before final, and often time-consumming, rendering process.

How to open PRV files
If you cannot open the PRV file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports PRV among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the PRV file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the PRV format files
The inability to open and operate the PRV file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the E-on Vue Preview Picture Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a PRV file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the PRV file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the PRV from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the PRV format
- The PRV file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the PRV file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a PRV file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the PRV file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the PRV file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the PRV file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.
How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.PRV) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected PRV file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the PRV file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. PRV) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
