How to open TER file?
An often recurring problem with TerraGen Landscape is that TER is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that TER files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TER 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 3D Object Converter
The first step is to check if the computer has the 3D Object Converter program installed. This can be achieved by typing 3D Object Converter into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TER with 3D Object Converter. Below is a list of programs that support the file TER.
Programs to open TER file
Remember to download programs supporting TER files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 3D Object Converter with TER files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TER file still does not use the 3D Object Converter program, it means no 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TER file with the 3D Object Converter application.
Step 3. Update 3D Object Converter to the latest version
If, despite the association of the 3D Object Converter program with the TerraGen Landscape file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the 3D Object Converter Team website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TER 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 suggests truncating the TER 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TER or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TER files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of TER 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TER files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Planetside Software help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TER 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move TER to a different directory.
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 you have to wait for the session to the file TER to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TER file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
