Post by: jimco on February 18, 2010, 09:42:04 AM
 I used 3d Home Architect for a long time the last version I still have is 8.0 I have some old drawings of a house I need to open and have hit a wall they have file extensions of .PL1 and pB1 and some smaller files with CA1, CA2, CB1 and CB2 extensions can someone tell me what I can get or buy to open these files I would rather not have to redraw them....

Hi, Welcome to the Forum!

I understand some versions of 3D Home Architect can be opened by TurboFLOORPLAN or Envisioneer but I think(!) it was up to V7.

They seem to get a few questions on the Envisioneer forum (as they used to host a 3DHA section) so you may find someone there can help if no one here can - http://www.cadsoft1.com/customercare/index.php?sid=ba5fc270ae4fb370e7e677576f277427 (http://www.cadsoft1.com/customercare/index.php?sid=ba5fc270ae4fb370e7e677576f277427).

Hi, what I can find out is you can save files in 3D Home Arcitect  bld-format.
Her is what IMSI Design write:

So what I can see is you have to save your 3D Home Arcitect as bld-files, this files shall be complitabel with TFP.
