What is TOPC file?
The file with the extension TOPC is the Data Files file type. The creator of this file is TopicCrunch. In addition to this file, the Data Files category includes 1326 related files.

The main program that supports this format is TopicCrunch. This was created by 3D-Scape Ltd..
How to open TOPC file?
An often recurring problem with TopicCrunch Project Format is that TOPC is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open TOPC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TOPC 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 TopicCrunch
The first step is to check if the computer has the TopicCrunch program installed. This can be achieved by typing TopicCrunch 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 TOPC with TopicCrunch. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TOPC files.
Programs to open TOPC file
Remember to download programs supporting TOPC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TopicCrunch with TOPC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TOPC file still does not use the TopicCrunch program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TOPC file with the TopicCrunch program.
Step 3. Update TopicCrunch to the latest version
If, despite the association of the TopicCrunch program with the TopicCrunch Project Format 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-Scape Ltd. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TOPC 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 TOPC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to TOPC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TOPC file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected TOPC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TOPC file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TOPC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting TopicCrunch, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TOPC 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move TOPC to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
