I have received a Runtime Error R6025 - pure virtual function call error message while working in Geomagic. How can I fix this?

When a program that is running in the Microsoft Windows operating system ends suddenly, an error report is compiled by the operating system and then a specific error message is displayed on the screen to help the user troubleshoot the problem.

The Runtime error R6025 is an error that occurs with the Visual C++ framework. The error is shown when your application calls a “pure virtual function” in a context that is not valid for the function.
