Opening a GEO File

The GEO file type is primarily associated with TurboCAD.

GEO	File extension: GEO
	File type:	3D virtual world

What is a GEO file?

GEO files mostly belong to TurboCAD by IMSI Design. The GEO filename extension is commonly associated with 3D graphics of virtual worlds created using VRML, a markup language for building and visualizing 3D virtual reality scenes. Such GEO files consists of 3D buildings, neighborhoods, worlds, paths and geometry objects that are saved in VRML format. TruTops geometry files also have the GEO file format. The GEO files created using TruTops are essentially CAD files used to store 3-dimensional objects, object data, and instructions that control how TRUMPF laser cutting machines bend, punch, or cut sheet metal. Video games like Homeworld use GEO files to store geometry data of 3D models objects in the game. Several other 3D design software also support the GEO file type and use it for different purposes. Geo Studio, for instance stores its data in GEO files and Map Maker stores its project files in GEO format.

How to open GEO files

You need a suitable software like TurboCAD to open a GEO 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 GEO file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a GEO file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Programs that open and convert GEO files:

TurboCAD by IMSI Design
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. GEO files are often referred to as TurboCAD 3d images because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
eXplorist GPS (gps database) by MAGELLAN
eXplorist were a series of rugged hand-held GPS devices developed by Magellan. Users could view high-resolution aerial photos, record audio, geotag videos, and access publicly available geographical and map data on these devices. The Geocache Manager software on eXplorist GPS devices stored geocache positions in databases with GEO filename extension. This file format is classified as Database.

GeoPaint (raster image) by GeoWorks
GeoPaint was a paint program in the discontinued Graphic Environment Operating System (GEOS) that was used on classic Apple II and Comodore C64 8-bit computers. GEO was a picture format used by GeoPaint. Although GeoPaint has been discontinued, such GEO pictures can be viewed in XnView. This file format is classified as Raster Image. Related links: XnView
GeoSoft (compressed add-on) by GeoSoft
Geosoft is a suite of software applications that offer professional geoscientists 3D graphical solutions for creating maps, geological models, and for resource exploration. The GEO file format is used to store compressed add-ons used by Geosoft programs. This file format is classified as Plugin. Related links: Geosoft on Wikipedia
GoldED+ (compiled congifuration) by Goldenware
GoldED/OS2 was a Fidonet email reader and editor available on IBM's OS/2 operating system. GoldED/OS2's compiled configuration data was stored in GEO files but the program was discontinued around 1999 and later replaced by GoldED+ Fidonet Message Editor This file format is classified as Settings.

Homeworld (3D geometry) by Relic
Homeworld is a strategy/adventure video game for Windows computers. Players of this game take on the role of the inhabitants of a virtual world who embark on an adventure to their land of origin. Geometry data of the 3D models in Homeworld are stored in GEO files. This file format is classified as Game. Related links: Relic Entertainment
Map Maker (map) by Map Maker
Map Maker is a Windows-based software for creating maps. It can create maps from aerial photographs, digital base maps, scanned documents, and other sources. Map Maker supports the most common graphics file formats like BMP and it stores already created maps in GEO files. This file format is classified as GIS. Related links: TurboCAD on Wikipedia
TruTops (TruTops Geometry File) by TRUMPF
TruTops is a software application for creating 3D graphics models used to communicate to TRUMPF laser cutting machines how to bend, punch, or shape sheet metal into the specified 3D design. The 3D CAD model created in TruTops is saved in GEO format. This file format is classified as CAD. Related links: TRUMPF on Wikipedia
VideoScape 3D (3D object) by Aegis
VideoScape 3D is a legacy software for creating and rendering 3D animations and models. GEO was used as the object definition file format for VideoScape 3D. This file format is classified as 3D Image.

GEO file format:

Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. In the following you will find our evaluation of the GEO files:

The GEO extension is very commonly found and includes different formats for the applicable programs. The file formats most commonly found in GEO files are:

30% of all GEO files are NETGEN Constructive Solid Geometry format files. These files are plain text, which means they can be viewed with any text editor such as Windows Editor, Nano for Linux, and TextEdit for macOS. The files are 1 KB to 68 KB in size, with a median of 7 KB. The file type is very old but is also used today. The following keywords are characteristic: 0.000000000 , 0.001000000 and *BELEGT*. Files like these are sometimes connected to adet and flat.
6% of all GEO files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters "1E 18 1A 01 01 01 10 01" at the beginning. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. The files are often between 43 KB and 400 KB in size.

The remaining 64% of all GEO files are different files with different signatures, frequently e.g. SBG Object Text, XML, Source, JSON, ZIP, GEO, Binary, Point and DOUBLE. Files like these are sometimes linked to contenedores, varios, mesh, geometry, naca, static, patch, base, cube, data, demo, hall or hole.

a geo 3D virtual world is a special file format by IMSI Design and should only be edited and saved with the appropriate software.

How to solve problems with GEO files

Associate the GEO file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open 3d virtual worlds. Because only the current version supports the latest GEO file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the IMSI Design manufacturer website after an available TurboCAD update.
To make sure that your GEO file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
