How to Export and Reuse Custom Door Favorites in Another Archicad File

mrsneuna — Wed, 06 Aug 2025 04:38:20 GMT

I have customized a door and saved it as a Favorite in Archicad. How can I export this Favorite so that I can use it in another project file

Operating system used: Windows 10

In the settings button (the cog top right) you will see an import/export option.

You don't actually need to export anything and you can simply import in the other file and go browsing for that PLN with the favourite you created.

But you will have to hunt through the list for that particular favourite.

If you export you can export just the selected favourites and it is a little easier to then import them.

I couldn’t find the export option in the cog menu. Could you clarify how I can import the file only without exporting first?

Sorry, I thought that was the favourites palette.
