This allows a full purge and rebuilding if things really go south. The embedded library stores content in the project, but it should be sourced from external content. If you can't get by with alphanumeric symbols (and an occasional "_" or "-") then rethink your conventions. PC does not play well with special characters, and they should just be avoided. Special characters should not be used in naming (technically of anything, but specifically embedded library elements). It is also important to note that any element placed from a library may go missing if it is renamed after it has been used. A consistent naming rule should be applied to all elements saved to any library. Library elements are organized by numbering and lettering in order. Naming also plays a critical role in the Embedded Libraries organization. Custom components (door/window/stair) - 2.0mb or less.Custom built furniture and fixtures - 5.0mb or less.Images for objects (pictures/tvs) - 1.0mb or less.As a rule I try to limit my embedded libraries to the following file sizes: There is really no hard rule for file size limits in the embedded library, but the more that is added to this library, the larger the project file becomes and at some point project functionality is reduced. Organization is key to management and use of this library. The important thing is that there is a structure in your template already, and that it is used. This list can grow, or be reduced as project needs dictate. A good folder structure I have preloaded into my templates looks something like this: The embedded library typically grows over the life of a project, and organization is critical to managing and minimizing this growth. If this library gets out of hand, the file can slow down, freeze up, or just become unruly to find what you need.Ī folder structure for the Embedded Library is critical for organization and management. Since the embedded library stores the content placed to the model inside the ARCHICAD file, it is critical to manage this library for proper function and efficiency of the BIM file. These may be custom built GDL elements or downloaded from outside sources, such as BIM components, BIM Object, Modlar, or even Sketchup Warehouse. It is also key in storing custom objects specific to the project needs. The embedded library is the "go-to" source for bringing in external content such as images for use in object settings or attributes (surfaces).
