What is a DDSG file?

DDSG files mostly belong to Autodesk Revit. Autodesk Design Data Sharing Group files (with the DDSG extension) are used in design collaboration systems. They primarily store information that supports Revit worksharing in Autodesk environments.
These files may have one of several internal formats, such as:

A design container for sharing project data among team members, which is the main use case.

A file that uses a JPG format to hold a thumbnail image, seen in some BlackBerry applications.

An encrypted PDF document, which can be opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

FilExt.com tips: Each variation serves a specific purpose. Use the correct software to open the file, as the internal format determines whether it holds live design data, image previews, or secure document content. For more details, visit this webpage.

How to open a DDSG file

Autodesk Revit
The *.DDSG file extension is primarily associated with Autodesk Revit, a software application used for Building Information Modeling (BIM). These files facilitate worksharing, enabling multiple users to collaborate on a single Revit project simultaneously. The *.DDSG file itself doesn't contain the actual project data but rather acts as a pointer to a central server where the main project file resides. This setup allows for efficient collaboration and version control within a team working on a complex BIM project. This file format is classified as 3D model file.
