What is CLDLYR file?
The file in the CLDLYR format belongs to the 3D Image Files category. It was designed by Planetside Software. 3D Image Files consists of 622 similar files.

It was released by Planetside Software.
How to open CLDLYR file?
An often recurring problem with TerraGen Cloud Layer is that CLDLYR is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file CLDLYR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CLDLYR 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 TerraGen
In this case, you should first verify that the TerraGen application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name TerraGen into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file CLDLYR.
Programs to open CLDLYR file
Remember to download programs supporting CLDLYR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TerraGen with CLDLYR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CLDLYR file to open in the TerraGen application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CLDLYR file with the TerraGen application.
Step 3. Update TerraGen to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TerraGen program, it is possible that TerraGen Cloud Layer requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Planetside Software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CLDLYR file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The CLDLYR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CLDLYR file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CLDLYR file. Sometimes virus-infected CLDLYR 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 CLDLYR files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CLDLYR file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Planetside Software
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CLDLYR files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the CLDLYR file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CLDLYR file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CLDLYR file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
