What is a TWD file?

TWD files mostly belong to DesignDoll. TWD files can store different kinds of data. The most common use is as a 3D model file for design programs such as DesignDoll. For example, these files may contain data for character or object models.
Other uses include:

  • Mind mapping documents: Some TWD files hold mind maps. They often use formats like GZIP or Microsoft Compound, and are associated with applications such as MindMapper (MindMapper).
  • PLC programs: Certain TWD files use an XML format to store Twido PLC programs, created by TwidoSuite.
  • Tower analysis data: Some files contain tower analysis results from engineering studies, produced by Radimpex Tower (Radimpex Tower).
  • Database files: A few TWD files carry Jet DB database information used for total station data, linked to Topcon Tools (Access).
  • Woodworking design: Other TWD files save 3D woodworking designs, as seen in Thermwood Cut Center projects (Thermwood).
  • Window design: Some files are used in window layout projects with tools like Tilcon Graphics Editor (Wind River).
