How to open RCOLOR file?

The main problem with Rhino 3D Color Format is that the RCOLOR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that RCOLOR 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 RCOLOR 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 Rhino 3D

Programs to open RCOLOR file

Remember to download programs supporting RCOLOR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Rhino 3D with RCOLOR files

If, despite the installed application, the RCOLOR file does not start in the Rhino 3D application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Rhino 3D application as the default for handling the RCOLOR file.

Step 3. Update Rhino 3D to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Rhino 3D program with the Rhino 3D Color Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Robert McNeel & Associates website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RCOLOR 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RCOLOR file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RCOLOR or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RCOLOR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RCOLOR file. 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 RCOLOR files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RCOLOR 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the RCOLOR file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RCOLOR file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
