Extract text from iTWO project files (IDK)
To convert IDK projects to another format, you need RIB iTWO or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Project Exchange Archive" file type, you need software like RIB iTWO or a similar tool.
The .idk filename extension serves as a proprietary Project Exchange container for RIB iTWO, an enterprise 5D construction management and estimation platform. These files are essential for transferring complex project data - including 3D BIM models, cost estimates, and scheduling info - between different iTWO databases.
For users without a license for RIB Software, receiving a .idk file creates a significant downside: the format is opaque and cannot be opened by standard CAD tools or text editors. However, the file typically utilizes standard ZIP compression internally to bundle XML data files. This structure allows for a pragmatic workaround: by renaming the extension from .idk to zip, users can often bypass the proprietary lock-in to extract and inspect the underlying raw data, manifest files, and project assets using standard archiving tools.

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 IDK converter.
