Archicad 26 Cannot Read Plan File

Oliwa1001 — Wed, 15 Nov 2023 09:51:45 GMT

Good morning, I have a huge problem with the Archicad file. I get the message "cannot read plan file" and this is the semester project file that I was supposed to hand in on Monday. Please help. Only you can save me

Are you trying to open it in an incorrect version of Archicad. you normally see this error where you try to open a higher version file format in a lower Archicad version. Also, try launching Archicad app first and then navigate to the File, Open menu, locate the file and check the option in the open file dialogue to 'Open and Repair'.

I opened the file in a good version: Archicad 26. I tried to repair the file in this way, but with no result. A notification appears that the file could not be repaired.

Do you have local support? You may be able to send the file to them for repair?

I can only count on my academic teacher of this program. I don't know how much she will help me but I will meet tomorrow.

You can retrieve by using backup file, do you have?

I keep trying to share a link to an article on the Community site here but it keeps being removed. If you search for ‘cannot open plan file’ an article will show up that was published by Graphisoft explaining methods to fix the issue.

It seems the system was automatically quarantining the post because of the link - I don't know why, and it shouldn't have.

I have released one of them so the link is now there.

Yes, I have the backup file but also not working. it looks like it's broken somehow. I don't know what happened to them.

I read the entire article yesterday and did as instructed. Unfortunately, nothing helped and the backup file does not open either. I have no idea how to fix my file and this is very important to me.

That's really odd. If you use Archicad through your university they should have a support agreement with Graphisoft. Which version of Archicad 26 do you have? Is it Full, Solo or Edu?

I have Educational License.

I believe you should get support with that. Which localisation do you use?

Support from who? Graphisoft or my university teacher? Because she doesn't know what to do.

I'm studying in Poland.

Trying to post the link. Have no idea why it is getting removed.

Thank you, but as I said earlier, I read the entire article yesterday and did as instructed. Unfortunately, nothing helped and the backup file does not open either. I have no idea how to fix my file and this is very important to me.

There was an old Corel link in this article what we updated and now it seems to us that the article can be posted again. I hope we managed to fix it this way.

Thank you @Lee Hankins, @Barry Kelly and @Eduardo Rolon for highlighting this issue.

If you have a legitimate Education license of Archicad 26 I think Graphisoft offer support as part of that. You used to obtain the educational licenses from myarchicad.com when I had it years ago. if that is still the method there would hopefully be a support feature through the website. If not then contact whoever supplied you with the education license and ask them for technical assistance. I'd be surprised if they cannot help.
