Overview
What is an EDF file? An EDF file is a project created by ACCA Edificius, a CAD program that helps users create 2D and 3D architectural designs. It contains information about various aspects of an entire project, which includes each element of the building design (roof material, door width, window fixture model, balcony slab inclination, etc.), terrain, and one or more GANTT charts. EDF files may also store photorealistic renderings and video tours of the design.

An EDF file stores estimations created with Dunstad Estimator, a freeware software program for managing financial estimations. It contains data in the Estimator Data Format (EDF), which is a basic comma-delimited format.
More Information
Dunstad Software developed Estimator for people looking to calculate future finances. With the software, you could enter financial streams to forecast future gains. You could also visualize estimates with graphs and charts and generate reports based on estimated financial data.
How to open an EDF file
You can open an EDF file with Dunstad Estimator in Windows if you have access to the software. If you cannot access Estimator, you can open an EDF file with a text editor since the data is saved in a basic comma-delimited format. However, opening an EDF file with a text editor will not display data the same way as opening it with Estimator.
