  2. Check the Header: Inspect the first bytes using a text or hex editor:
    • Readable text or XML suggests a 3D configuration file.
    • Unreadable binary data implies a proprietary CAD format.
  3. Use the Original Software: The original program is usually required; try Bondware Poser or FastCAD, or ask the sender if uncertain.
