How to open ZSOL file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZSOL 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 ZSOL file

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

Step 2. Create association of Tekla BIMsight software with ZSOL files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ZSOL file to open in the Tekla BIMsight software application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 ZSOL file with the Tekla BIMsight software application.

Step 3. Update Tekla BIMsight software to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Tekla BIMsight software program, it is possible that M & S Steel Corp. Model requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Tekla Corporation page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to ZSOL 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZSOL file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ZSOL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ZSOL 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ZSOL files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ZSOL 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ZSOL 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZSOL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZSOL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
