How to open TNT file?

The most common problem when using TurnTool 3D Model is that a specific TNT is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that TNT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TNT 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 TurnTool

In this case, you should first verify that the TurnTool application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TurnTool in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support TNT files.

Programs to open TNT file

Remember to download programs supporting TNT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of TurnTool with TNT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TNT file to open in the TurnTool application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 TNT file with the TurnTool application.

Step 3. Update TurnTool to the latest version

If, however, after binding TurnTool with TurnTool 3D Model there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Turntool ApS website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TNT file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The TNT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the TNT 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TNT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TNT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TNT files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TNT files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Turntool ApS
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TNT files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the TNT file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TNT to close. However, some background programs may block the TNT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
