Repacking MVR

[CharlieWinter]

In doing some tests with MVR and Vectorworks, I'm interested in how to recompress an MVR after unzipping it to tweak the GeneralSceneDescription XML file.

When I recompress the folder [MVR_2025Test_Group] and change the extension back to .mvr, macOS still recognizes it as a ZIP archive rather than a document, and it doesn't appear in the MVR Import in MA3.

Hello @CharlieWinter,

repackaging and re-zipping GDTF and MVR is possible. It could be that gMA3 is not yet supporting compression of the zip archives and that they are expecting a zip but without compression, which is something you can typically set during the zipping process.

Hope this helps
