  • How can I open a .B4S file and what software or application do I need?

    A .B4S file is typically associated with the 3D modeling software called Lumion. To open a .B4S file, you will need to have Lumion installed on your computer. Lumion is a paid software, so you will need to purchase a license to use it.

    2. In the Lumion interface, go to the "Import" tab.
    3. Click on the "Import" button and select the .B4S file you want to open.
    4. Lumion will import the file, and you should be able to see and work with the 3D model within the software.

    Note: If you don't have Lumion or access to it, you may need to contact the creator of the .B4S file and ask if they can provide the model in a different format that is compatible with other 3D modeling software you have access to.

    3. Associate the .B4S file with the software: Once the software is installed, you may need to associate the .B4S file extension with the newly installed software. This step is usually done automatically during the software installation process. If not, you can manually associate the file type with the software by right-clicking on the .B4S file, selecting "Open With," and choosing the appropriate software from the list.
