The BLD file extension is associated with multiple applications, with each format used for different purposes, making it important to understand the particular software associated with the BLD file extension in use. In this article, we will discuss three different formats and ways to open or use files with the BLD file extension:

One of the most common formats for the BLD file extension is the 3D Home Architect Project Format. The software, Live Home 3D, previously known as 3D Home Architect, allows users to create custom home designs and architectural drawings. The BLD file contains project data, such as room designs, object placements, and material settings.

Opening a BLD file in Live Home 3D is straightforward. Simply utilize the "Open" feature found under the "File" menu or drag and drop the BLD file directly into the software. Live Home 3D is available on macOS, iOS, and Windows devices. Visit their official website to download the software.
