    Hi,

    In our UWP app there is a web view which loads a 3D model. The content of the web part includes a html, js, css and a file of type .iv3d. When I load that html like this ms-appdata:///local/models/index.htm from the LocalState folder it loads the model fine. But if I try to put that web code inside our project and call it like this ms-appx-web:///Screens/Test/index.htm it only loads the html file but not the 3D content. The html looks like below.

    <script type="text/javascript" src="iv3d.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ivstyles.css" />
</head>

<body onload='view3d=iv.initViewer3d("tree.iv3d",0x777777,null,1.0);view3d.menuOpen=false;view3d.cfgSelZOffset=false;view3d.clrSelection[5]=false?0.5:1;'    >

    Any idea why it doesn't work in the second way?

    Also if it is not going to work, I think what I'll have to do is copy those files to the LocalState folder at the start and access it from there. Can you please direct me how I can copy some files inside my UWP project to the LocalState folder.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    I'm sorry to say that I can't reproduce the unexpected behavior you said about the 3D model. I created an HTML file using the code you are given, but I can't see anything in browser or in WebView control in UWP apps. So I can't tell what causes the issue. But I'll answer the second question. 

    >>Can you please direct me how I can copy some files inside my UWP project to the LocalState folder.

    First you could access the installation folder using Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation. Then you could use StorageFile.CopyAsync Method to copy the file.
    Here is the code sample that I get a file from the Assets of the installation folder and copy it to the models folder in the local folder.

                //get file from installation folder
            string CountriesFile = @"Assets\london.png";
            StorageFolder InstallationFolder = Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation;
            StorageFile file = await InstallationFolder.GetFileAsync(CountriesFile);

            //copy file to local folder
            StorageFolder localFolder = ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
            StorageFolder modelfolder= await localFolder.GetFolderAsync("models");
            Debug.WriteLine(modelfolder.Path);
            StorageFile copiedFile = await file.CopyAsync(modelfolder, file.Name, NameCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);

    Thank you very much Roy.

    When you get a chance please check whether this web page works for you.

    Model will open for this (it will take couple of minutes to load)

    ms-appdata:///local/models/1/index.htm

    But for this only the html loads

    ms-appx-web:///Screens/Test/1/index.htm

    Thanks,

    Madhu

    Hi,

    I'm here to update my test result. I tried the html, the html shows 100% in its page. But no more things. I tried to open the html in the browser, after the process ring became 100%, it shows there is a 404 error in iv3d.js. 

    I suspect when using ms-appx-web to open the htm, it is opened as a file not a website. So that it just shows a static page. Currently you could try to copy it to the local file and access it using ms-appdata:
