Recommendations for Using Libraries

It is recommended to organize your libraries as follows:

The Embedded Library should serve as your project library, containing project-specific objects that are always available and editable, and saved with the project.

Any project-specific object that you modify frequently should be placed in the Embedded Library.

Only embed those objects that are project-specific. Try to keep the Embedded Library small.

Company Libraries and other standard libraries should be located on a dedicated BIMcloud/BIM Server, to enable one-step updates which are then available to all users, including solo and Teamwork project users.

When you archive a project, use the PLA file format. It is NOT recommended to save all objects in the Embedded Library.
