Libpack vs lcf for custom office library

AlexV — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 11:15:51 GMT

I'm trying to find out if there are any advantages to changing our office object library from .lcf to .libpack. More specific for bimcloud libraries.

Does anyone have insight into whether there are any practical advantages? Like resource use, performance improvements.

Operating system used: Windows 11

There are none.

Libpacks are just another wrapper around lcf. It's not needed, it just makes your life more complicated.

The only practical difference that I’m aware of, if you’re not utilizing the new features of libpacks, is that in the Object Tool settings, libraries can be displayed using the newer folder structure. You can still use .lcf files, but you may want to double-check whether the folder organization is still logical.
