Library Housekeeping

When you launch a project or a new template does the library error appear?

Do you have lots of obsolete or duplicate objects in your template? As the year comes to and end and we enter into a quiet period its a great time to take the time to rearrange your library.

• Delete any duplicated objects from your template file.
• Delete everything from your Embedded Library – this library is only for project specific objects.
• Consolidate Multiple Archicad Libraries – this removes obsolete or duplicate libraries from your file.
• Remove unused Linked Libraries
• Make sure your project specific libraries are not located in cloud servers, you can run into problems with your project here. Locate your libraries in a dedicated folder on a server computer or in your Archicad Library folder under program files.
• Create your own Library Container File to manage those miscellaneous objects you have gathered.
