What is an RCH file?

RCH files mostly belong to SWAT.
  • SWAT Output File: This RCH file often holds simulation data from the Soil and Water Assessment Tool. It records information from river reaches such as flow, sediment, and nutrient loads. For more details, visit the SWAT website.
  • 3D Model File: In other cases, the file stores 3D model data. It can be associated with platforms like Autodesk Revit Cloud Worksharing, Autodesk ReCap, and even Ren'Py projects, holding geometric and design information.
  • FilExt.com note: Verify your file’s origin to use the correct software for opening and viewing it.

    How to open RCH files

    You need a suitable software like SWAT to open an RCH file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your RCH file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a RCH file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
