What is a .LXFML file?
The file extension .LXFML represents a LEGO Digital Designer XML File. This type of file is an XML document specifically used to detail the various LEGO bricks that make up a 3D scene designed in the LEGO Digital Designer software. Although the main project file has a .LXF extension, the .LXFML file is typically embedded within this compressed .LXF file.
Since the .LXFML file is in XML format, it can be opened and read by several programs. Notably, it can be accessed using LEGO Digital Designer, although it's important to note that this software has been discontinued. Despite the discontinuation, if you already have LEGO Digital Designer installed, you can still use it to open .LXFML files.
Alternatively, BricksViewer, another program compatible with LEGO file formats, can also open .LXFML files. This software allows users to view and interact with the LEGO designs.
For those who prefer a simpler approach, any standard text editor (like Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on macOS, or Gedit on Linux) can be used to open and view the contents of .LXFML files. While using a text editor won't allow you to view the 3D model, it will enable you to see and edit the raw XML data that describes the LEGO bricks used in the model. This can be useful for advanced users looking to manually edit the details of their LEGO designs.
