FAQ: HSF Version

HSF Version by HOOPS Visualize Release

The HSF version (included as readable text at the beginning of an HSF file) precludes HOOPS toolkits from reading HSF files written by future toolkit versions unless a target version is specified for backward compatibility.

3DF – SetTargetVersion()

HPS – no equivalent

NOTE: An HSF created by the HPS API is not compatible with 3DF. However, an HSF created by 3DF can be read by HPS.

The table below shows some of the correlation between HOOPS toolkit version and HSF file version;
