Troubleshooting Problems Opening PB1 Files

Issues Opening PB1 Files

3D Home Architect Disappeared

When you double-click your PB1 file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to 3D Home Architect missing in %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the PB1 file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: When another PB1 application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Obsolete Version of 3D Home Architect

Sometimes your installed version of 3D Home Architect won't support your Broderbund 3D Home Architect Data file. If you've got the wrong version of 3D Home Architect installed, you'll need to install the correct version. The primary cause of this problem is that your Broderbund 3D Home Architect Data file was created by a different (newer) version of 3D Home Architect than what's installed.

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the PB1 file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Conclusion: The majority of PB1 file opening issues are due to not having the correct 3D Home Architect version installed.
