What is an OWLE file?

OWLE files mostly belong to OpenBuildings Designer.

OWLE files are project files used to store building design data. They use a ZIP archive internally to package all the project components.
These files are created by OpenBuildings Designer software from companies such as OWLE or OWLEngineer. They hold all design elements and settings of a building project in one file.

If you want to work with an OWLE file, consider the following tips:

Open with the correct software: Use the dedicated OpenBuildings Designer application.
Inspect contents: You can change the file extension to .zip and use a standard archive tool to review its structure.
Backup: Always save a backup before making changes.

An .OWLE file is a project file format primarily associated with OpenBuildings Designer, a software application developed by Bentley Systems. It acts as a container, utilizing the ZIP format internally, to store various project data, including models, drawings, settings, and other resources related to building design and engineering projects. The .OWLE extension serves to identify these project files specifically within the OpenBuildings Designer ecosystem, allowing the software to recognize and load them efficiently. While the .OWLE format is proprietary to Bentley Systems, it plays a crucial role in facilitating collaboration and data management within building information modeling (BIM) workflows. This file format is classified as project file.
