What is SZA file?
The file with the extension SZA is the 3D Image Files file type. The author of this format is ISD Software und Systeme GmbH. 3D Image Files consists of 622 similar files. HiCAD NeXt Construction is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is HiCAD neXt. This was created by ISD Software und Systeme GmbH.
How to open SZA file?
An often recurring problem with HiCAD NeXt Construction is that SZA is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file SZA 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 SZA 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 HiCAD neXt
The first step is to check if the computer has the HiCAD neXt program installed. To do this, enter the name HiCAD neXt into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SZA with HiCAD neXt. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SZA files.
Programs to open SZA file
Remember to download programs supporting SZA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of HiCAD neXt with SZA files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SZA file still does not use the HiCAD neXt program, it means no 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SZA file with the HiCAD neXt program.
Step 3. Update HiCAD neXt to the latest version
If, despite the association of the HiCAD neXt program with the HiCAD NeXt Construction 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 ISD Software und Systeme GmbH website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SZA 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SZA file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SZA or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SZA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SZA 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.
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 SZA files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ISD Software und Systeme GmbH
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SZA 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 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. It is best to move SZA to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SZA file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SZA file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
