What is BPWX file?

The file with the extension BPWX is the GIS Files file type. GIS Files consists of 255 similar files. Blender GIS World Data Format is most often found on 3 operating systems. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The Blender application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Stichting Blender Foundation. Alternatively, you can use 3 other programs. Blender GIS will apply when it is not possible to use Blender.

How to open BPWX file?

The most common problem when using Blender GIS World Data Format is that a specific BPWX is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that BPWX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BPWX file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Blender

In this case, you should first verify that the Blender application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Blender into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BPWX with Blender. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BPWX files.

Programs to open BPWX file

Remember to download programs supporting BPWX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Blender with BPWX files

If, despite the installed application, the BPWX file does not start in the Blender application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BPWX file with the Blender program.

Step 3. Update Blender to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Blender program with the Blender GIS World Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Stichting Blender Foundation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BPWX file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BPWX file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BPWX file. Sometimes virus-infected BPWX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BPWX files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BPWX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BPWX except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move BPWX to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BPWX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BPWX file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
