PL2 is a 3D Home Architect Second Level Floor Plan .pl2 file extension. It is used for 3D architectural design with Punch! Home Design Architectural Series v19, an architectural design software. PL2 files are developed and used to store and present detailed floor plans for a house or other types of buildings. The file typically store information regarding the architecture of floor plans, such as measurements, walls, textures, colors, furniture placements and other details. It is the second level in the Punch! Home Design suite and features a 3D model while the first level consists of a plan view similar to an architect’s drawing.
Interchangeable File Formats
Interchangeable file formats such as DXF and DWG dxf/.dwg can be used to open and save PL2 files in lieu of PL2. The DXF and DWG extensions are commonly used for interchange of CAD data in architectural, mechanical, electrical and engineering industries and can contain all the objects in a particular drawing. In addition, PL2 files can be exported to other file formats such as PDF, PNG, BMP, DXF 9 or DXF 10 either in 2D or 3D rendering.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PL2) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .PL2 extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .PL2 file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .PL2 extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .PL2 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PL2 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PL2 file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .PL2 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PL2 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PL2 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
