Trouble-shooting
Here is a list of solutions for common software and hardware issues.
Mouse Wheel Configuration
To use the middle mouse button for zooming and auto-panning, configure the
mouse wheel to Middle Button. This can be found in the Windows control panel
under the Mouse settings. See here for details.
Multiple Monitors
When using multiple monitors and NVidia graphics cards, it is recommended that hardware acceleration
is set to Compatibility performance mode. This can be found in the NVidia control panel
under 3D Settings | Manage 3D Settings. Note that if any NVidia settings are changed, Unwrap 3D should be restarted.
OpenGL
Ultimate Unwrap 3D utilizes OpenGL for 3D rendering, so it is important your graphics card
fully supports it.
It is recommended the Unwrap 3D program runs at the default graphics settings. If you encounter
any issues, please check to see if your desktop has any custom hardware profiles enabled. This
can be found in the AMD or NVidia control panel under 3D Settings.
Windows 10/11
Windows Vista (32-bit only)
- If updating, uninstall all previous versions and demos of Unwrap 3D.
- Turn off Aero by selecting a basic desktop scheme such as Windows Vista Basic
or Windows Classic. This fixes refresh issues related to Aero composition.
- Right-click on the Unwrap 3D executable file and choose Properties.
Under the Compatibility tab, select Run this program in compatibility mode for
Windows XP (Service Pack 3). Details here.
Windows 7/XP (32-bit only)
- Turn off DEP for the Unwrap 3D program.
In Windows XP, you can find DEP in Start | Settings | Control Panel |
System | Advanced | Performance | Settings | Data Execution Prevention.
In Windows 7, see Control Panel | System and Security | System | Advanced system settings |
Performance | Settings... | Data Execution Prevention (tab).
Your computer must be restarted.
Details here.
- For ATI/AMD cards, turn off triple buffering in the Catalyst Control Center.
MSVC++ Redistributables
Some plugins (e.g. Autodesk FBX) may require Microsoft runtime libraries not found on your computer.
