How to open LS4 file?
The main problem with Lumion Exported Full Scene is that the LS4 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that LS4 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LS4 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 Lumion
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Lumion is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Lumion 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 LS4 files.
Programs to open LS4 file
Remember to download programs supporting LS4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Lumion with LS4 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LS4 file still does not use the Lumion 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. 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 LS4 file with the Lumion application.
Step 3. Update Lumion to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Lumion program with the Lumion Exported Full Scene file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Act-3D page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LS4 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The LS4 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LS4 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LS4 file. However, remember that not every infected LS4 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of LS4 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LS4 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Act-3D, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LS4 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move LS4 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the LS4 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LS4 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LS4 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
