Same as above, only one composite and one complex profile must stay for a valid Archicad file. Texture images are what make up the most amount of space here. Only one surface and one building material must present in every project, so consider keeping what is relevant to future projects. Be aware that we can only import a vectorial fill pattern from another file. We should avoid deleting or replacing them with something else. Only the Solid Line and certain Fills (Foreground, Background, Air Space, 75%, 50%, 25%, and Gradient fills) cannot be erased and are always part of a valid Archicad project. Any project file or template must have at least one Pen Set. We cannot delete individual pens inside a pen set. The layers themselves do not require much storage space, but their content is what makes the file size bigger. The only layer that cannot be deleted is ARCHICAD Layer, but an Archicad project is still valid without a layer combination. As the project grows, they are required to work smoothly. One of the template file’s most significant parts can be the attributes stored in it. Any further data can be added as the project evolves, thus we will avoid spending hours cleaning up the project.īefore project starts – making a clean Template that contains only the necessary data to start a project Attributes On the other hand, by optimizing the template, we will have a solid foundation to start the project. This is crucial when the deadline is approaching. In some situations, it also improves the file performance. Optimizing file size during the project life might be a good way to save storage space. This results in smaller file size, but most of the information below is not relevant in case of MOD files. They do not include the whole attribute sets but refer only to attributes used by their elements. The Module (MOD) files are optimized solely to be used as Hotlink Modules, thus containing only model, Floor Plan data and embedded objects, but not the Section, Elevation, Worksheet, Detail 3D Document, etc. The data structure and saved entities of a Project Template (TPL) are the same as a PLN has.
There are several file types that are in use by Archicad in different areas, but whole projects are saved into Archicad Solo Project (PLN) or Archicad Archive Project (PLA).
This article helps you learn what data is stored in a file and how to achieve a balanced BIM project that does not occupy more storage space than necessary. Although a project's performance is the most important, sometimes the large size of a file can be a problem.
