What is GOF file?
The file with the extension GOF is the 3D Image Files file type. It was designed by Okino Computer Graphics. Additionally, the 3D Image Files category contains 622 of other files. GameExchange Raw Object Definition 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. This file type can also be opened by 1 other programs. You can use GameExchange in case PolyTrans|CAD+DCC cannot be used.
How to open GOF file?
An often recurring problem with GameExchange Raw Object Definition is that GOF is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that GOF files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GOF 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 PolyTrans|CAD+DCC
In this case, you should first verify that the PolyTrans|CAD+DCC application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing PolyTrans|CAD+DCC into the operating 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 GOF.
Programs to open GOF file
Remember to download programs supporting GOF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PolyTrans|CAD+DCC with GOF files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GOF file still does not use the PolyTrans|CAD+DCC program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GOF file with the PolyTrans|CAD+DCC program.
Step 3. Update PolyTrans|CAD+DCC to the latest version
If, however, after binding PolyTrans|CAD+DCC with GameExchange Raw Object Definition there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GOF file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to GOF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GOF file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GOF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GOF 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GOF file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GOF 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the GOF file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the GOF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
