What is HRC file?
The file with the extension HRC is the 3D Image Files file type. The author of this format is Autodesk, Inc.. Additionally, the 3D Image Files category contains 622 of other files. Autodesk Softimage Model 3D appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. 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 Autodesk Softimage. This was created by Autodesk, Inc..
How to open HRC file?
The most common problem when using Autodesk Softimage Model 3D is that a specific HRC is not associated with the program. This causes the file HRC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HRC 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 Autodesk Softimage
The first step is to check if the computer has the Autodesk Softimage program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Autodesk Softimage in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support HRC files.
Programs to open HRC file
Remember to download programs supporting HRC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Autodesk Softimage with HRC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HRC file to open in the Autodesk Softimage 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 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 select the desired program. 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 HRC file with the Autodesk Softimage application.
Step 3. Update Autodesk Softimage to the latest version
If, however, after binding Autodesk Softimage with Autodesk Softimage Model 3D there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Autodesk, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HRC 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:
The HRC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to HRC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HRC file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HRC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of HRC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HRC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Autodesk, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted HRC 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. It is best to move HRC to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the HRC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HRC file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
