Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand the difficulties you are facing with the 3D images that are created in 3D builder. To have a clarity on this issue, we need some information.

• Was there a major change or an update on your system, prior to which you weren't facing this issue?
  
• What is the Windows 10 version and Build installed?(Type
  winver in Windows search/Run command)
  
• What is the version of the 3D builder app installed?

However, we would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the 3D Builder app.

1. Press Windows + X key from the keyboard. Select
   Windows PowerShell (Admin).
   
2. Type: Get-AppxPackage *3dbuilder* | Remove-AppxPackage
   and click on Enter.
   
3. Type: Exit and click on Enter.
   
4. Restart the PC.
   Open Microsoft Store app and reinstall
   3D builder app.

We await your response.
