How to open SURF file?
An often recurring problem with Surf 3D Scanner is that SURF is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file SURF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SURF 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.

Programs to open SURF file
Remember to download programs supporting SURF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Rapidform Explorer with SURF files
If, despite the installed application, the SURF file does not start in the Rapidform Explorer 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 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SURF file with the Rapidform Explorer application.
Step 3. Update Rapidform Explorer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Rapidform Explorer program with the Surf 3D Scanner file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Rapidform, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SURF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the SURF file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SURF file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SURF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SURF 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SURF files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SURF 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the SURF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SURF to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
