How to open LAMP file?
The main problem with ArchiCAD For MAC Geometric Description Language is that the LAMP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that LAMP 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 LAMP 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 ArchiCAD
The first step is to check if the computer has the ArchiCAD program installed. This can be achieved by typing ArchiCAD into the operating system search engine. 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 LAMP files.
Programs to open LAMP file
Remember to download programs supporting LAMP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ArchiCAD with LAMP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LAMP file to open in the ArchiCAD application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 LAMP file with the ArchiCAD program.
Step 3. Update ArchiCAD to the latest version
If, however, after binding ArchiCAD with ArchiCAD For MAC Geometric Description Language there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Graphisoft page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LAMP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The LAMP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the LAMP file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LAMP file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LAMP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of LAMP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LAMP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Graphisoft help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LAMP 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 LAMP to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LAMP file again. However, some background programs may block the LAMP file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
