What is a PMK file?

PMK files mostly belong to Allplan. PMK files are used in different fields. They are mainly Allplan project files that store building design data for architectural and engineering work. These files are handled by software like Allplan and sometimes recognized by ArchiCAD.
  • Allplan Projects: These files contain complex design information and project details. Visit Allplan for more on handling these files.
  • Pepakura Models: A smaller group of PMK files are used by Pepakura Designer. They use the zlib compression method to store 3D model data for paper craft construction. More details are available at Tamasoft.
  • Property List Files: Some PMK files use a plist format. They work with macOS applications such as Keynote or PhotoMechanic. For information, see Apple Support for Keynote.
  • FilExt.com note: This file extension covers different internal structures, so opening one depends on its origin and content.
