Disclaimer I did not use any kind of reverse engineering other than educated guessing and trial and error until I managed to parse the few CMB files I had created with catalyst ® ex version 4.2 build 4147. Now, after almost a year has passed since my first digging into the file format and after several people asked me about them, I decided to share them on my blog. To make a long story short, I found no way around, writing my own pre-visualization, which involved figuring out the file format of the CMB files and parsing the file in order to generate a true 3D preview. However, this is only a kind of wireframe view, not very useful for judging the resulting surface. So in order to see the 3D shape, you may turn off all options except part exterior and view all layers concurrently. With the “Show one layer only” option (CMB Viewing Options) turned off, you can even view all slices simultaneously.
