How to open RSYM file?
An often recurring problem with ArchiCAD For MAC Geometric Description Language is that RSYM is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open RSYM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RSYM 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
In this case, you should first verify that the ArchiCAD application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ArchiCAD into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open RSYM file
Remember to download programs supporting RSYM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ArchiCAD with RSYM files
If, despite the installed application, the RSYM file does not start in the ArchiCAD application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ArchiCAD application as the default for handling the RSYM file.
Step 3. Update ArchiCAD to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ArchiCAD program with the ArchiCAD For MAC Geometric Description Language file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Graphisoft website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RSYM 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RSYM 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RSYM file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected RSYM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of RSYM 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RSYM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Graphisoft, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file RSYM 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the RSYM 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 you have to wait for the session to the file RSYM to close. 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.
