Libraries

Starting with version 28, Archicad is shipped with a “Global library” - a collection of library packages. These library packages contains hundreds of preconfigured, editable objects (also known as GDL objects or Library parts).

You can add or embed addition libraries, packages, and objects to your project as needed.

We recommend you that you start using the Global Library only after completing your ongoing projects.

To migrate your older version projects and keep working as usual: see Migrating Libraries to Archicad 28.

View and manage your project’s libraries in the Library Manager (File > Libraries and Objects > Library Manager).
