Tips to open GBXML file
Can't open the GBXML file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open GBXML files as well as a list of programs that support GBXML files.
GBXML file extension
The GBXML file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the GBXML files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the GBXML file on each system platform.
What is GBXML file?
The GBXML file has been categorized as 3D Image Files. 3D Image Files consists of 622 similar files. Green Building XML is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Revit Architecture. This was created by Autodesk, Inc..
How to open GBXML file?
The most common problem when using Green Building XML is that a specific GBXML is not associated with the program. This causes the file GBXML 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 GBXML 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 Revit Architecture
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Revit Architecture is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Revit Architecture into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open GBXML files.
Programs to open GBXML file
Remember to download programs supporting GBXML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Revit Architecture with GBXML files
If, despite the installed application, the GBXML file does not start in the Revit Architecture application, you must create a file association. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Revit Architecture application as the default for handling the GBXML file.
Step 3. Update Revit Architecture to the latest version
If, however, after binding Revit Architecture with Green Building XML there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Autodesk, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GBXML file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The GBXML file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to GBXML files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GBXML file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GBXML files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GBXML file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GBXML file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GBXML 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. 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 GBXML file to another location.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the GBXML file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
