How to open IFCZIP file?
The most common problem when using Compessed IFC Format is that a specific IFCZIP is not associated with the program. This causes the file IFCZIP 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 IFCZIP 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 Tekla BIMsight
The first step is to check if the computer has the Tekla BIMsight program installed. To do this, enter the name Tekla BIMsight into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file IFCZIP with Tekla BIMsight. Below you will find a list of applications that support IFCZIP files.
Programs to open IFCZIP file
Remember to download programs supporting IFCZIP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Tekla BIMsight with IFCZIP files
If, despite the installed application, the IFCZIP file does not start in the Tekla BIMsight application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the IFCZIP file with the Tekla BIMsight application.
Step 3. Update Tekla BIMsight to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Tekla BIMsight program, it is possible that Compessed IFC Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IFCZIP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The IFCZIP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IFCZIP file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IFCZIP file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover IFCZIP 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 IFCZIP file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IFCZIP file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IFCZIP 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. Copying the IFCZIP file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IFCZIP file again. However, some background programs may block the IFCZIP file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
