How to open PL2 file?
The most common problem when using 3D Home Architect Second Level Floor Plan is that a specific PL2 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that PL2 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 PL2 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
In this case, you should first verify that the 3D Home Architect application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name 3D Home Architect into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PL2 files.
Programs to open PL2 file
Remember to download programs supporting PL2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 3D Home Architect with PL2 files
If, despite the installed application, the PL2 file does not start in the 3D Home Architect application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 PL2 file.
Step 3. Update 3D Home Architect to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the 3D Home Architect program, it is possible that 3D Home Architect Second Level Floor Plan requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Br?derbund Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PL2 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PL2 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 PL2 file. However, remember that not every infected PL2 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of PL2 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PL2 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Broderbund help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PL2 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the PL2 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 PL2 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PL2 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
