Extract text from Live Home 3D projects (LHZD)
To convert LHZD projects to another format, you need Live Home 3D or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "Live Home 3D Project" file type, you need software like Live Home 3D or a similar tool.
The .lhzd file is a 3D home design project format created by Live Home 3D. It is used by interior designers and homeowners to store multi-story floor plans, 3D furniture models, lighting data, and custom textures. This software is widely used across macOS, Windows, and iOS platforms.
However, .lhzd files present significant sharing challenges. It is a highly proprietary, closed format. If you send this file to a client or contractor, they cannot open it without downloading or purchasing the native application. Furthermore, because these files pack high-resolution textures and complex 3D geometry, file sizes frequently exceed 100MB. They are completely unsupported by web browsers or generic 3D viewing applications.
To share your designs professionally, you typically need to convert the project into standard target formats like PDF for 2D floor plans, or OBJ, DAE (Collada), and FBX for 3D modeling workflows. Unfortunately, standard online converters fail to process .lhzd files because the necessary 3D rendering engine is proprietary to BeLight Software.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to convert externally because only the original software can correctly parse the custom XML layout rules. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible on convert.guru. Because .lhzd is internally built on a standard ZIP architecture, our analysis can often inspect the container and extract embedded assets. If you need to recover raw texture images or underlying XML data, viewing or extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LHZD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PDF, LZH, SVG, JPG, XML, PNG, ZIP, SH3D, APKG, MP4, PMD, INP and SAV files.
If you want to convert LHZD file to ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, LZMA, CAB, ACE, ARJ or LHA, you can use Live Home 3D or similar software from the "3D Home Design Project" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert XXE, 7Z, Z, PAK, LHA, DEB, UUE, TAR, LZH, ZIP, PKG or RAR files to LHZD, try Live Home 3D or another comparable tool in the "3D Home Design Project" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our LHZD converter.
