What is SPT file?
The file with the extension SPT is the CAD Files file type. The creator of this file is Interactive Data Visualization. In addition to this file, the CAD Files category includes 158 related files. SpeedTree Tree Data Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. Alternatively, you can use 3 other programs. 3ds Max, Autodesk Maya, SpeedTree will apply when it is not possible to use Maya.
How to open SPT file?
The most common problem when using SpeedTree Tree Data Format is that a specific SPT is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open SPT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SPT 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 Maya
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Maya is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Maya in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SPT with Maya. Below you will find a list of applications that support SPT files.
Programs to open SPT file
Remember to download programs supporting SPT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Maya with SPT files
If, despite the installed application, the SPT file does not start in the Maya 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SPT file with the Maya application.
Step 3. Update Maya to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Maya program with the SpeedTree Tree Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The SPT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SPT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SPT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SPT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SPT files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SPT files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SPT 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move SPT to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SPT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SPT file again. However, some background programs may block the SPT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
