How to open PL0 file?
The most common problem when using 3D Home Architect Foundation Floor Plan is that a specific PL0 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that PL0 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 PL0 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 3D Home Architect
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that 3D Home Architect is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name 3D Home Architect 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 PL0 with 3D Home Architect. Below you will find a list of applications that support PL0 files.
Programs to open PL0 file
Remember to download programs supporting PL0 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 3D Home Architect with PL0 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PL0 file still does not use the 3D Home Architect program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the 3D Home Architect application as the default for handling the PL0 file.
Step 3. Update 3D Home Architect to the latest version
If, however, after binding 3D Home Architect with 3D Home Architect Foundation Floor Plan there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Br?derbund Software, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PL0 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PL0 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PL0 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PL0 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PL0 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PL0 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Broderbund, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PL0 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the PL0 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PL0 file again. However, some background programs may block the PL0 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
