    Hi,

    Another solution is to call "qmake -project" in the folder where these files are. It will build a basic .pro file based on these files. You will have to adjust some stuff like the modules to use.

      @The-Times You can simply create a default widget app with qrc resource file in QtCreator and copy its pro file, then adjust that pro file.

        @jsulm Thanks, I managed to create the .pro file and import it to VS. However when I build the solution, I get this error :
        " Error 1 error MSB3073: The command ""D:\CHAI3D\Qt\5.5\msvc2013_64\bin\rcc.exe" --list "....\CHAI3D" > "x64\Debug\rcc_list.txt" 2> nul" exited with code 1. C:\Users\Krystal\AppData\Local\QtMsBuild\qtrcc.targets 74 5 MyGui"

        Do you have any idea on how I could go on about resolving it?

          @SGaist Thanks for the reply! I believe I have successfully created the .pro file but when I try to compile the solution in VS studio, I get the following error:

          error MSB3073: The command ""D:\CHAI3D\Qt\5.5\msvc2013_64\bin\rcc.exe" --list "....\CHAI3D" > "x64\Debug\rcc_list.txt" 2> nul" exited with code 1. C:\Users\krystal\AppData\Local\QtMsBuild\qtrcc.targets 74 5 MyGui

          Do you have any idea why this is happening?

            @The-Times Can you build a simple Qt app created via the app template, or a Qt example app?

                      @The-Times I'm wondering why most of your files are two levels above the pro file (../../*), but ModelDemo.qrc is not? Same for ModelDemo.ui.
                      Why don't you put the pro file into CHAI3D Application/Qt Program/external? Everything belonging to a project should be in same folder, else it's a mess.

                        @jsulm Really, thanks for your help. I reordered the files and made sure to organize everything, and understood why the error was occurring. Now I am getting other different errors and this is starting to feel like a never-ending cycle
