how to export .lcf file form library to .lcf file?

Piotr Walerysiak — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 21:20:41 GMT

When I export .lcf file from Library Manager to disc it saves as folder containing .gsm files instead of single .lcf container.

Is there any way to directly save it as .lcf from project?

Operating system used: Windows 11

Maybe this way? (sorry; GER version):

I would have to Extract Container and load objects to library first, then Create Container with the same name.

I am not in front of Archicad at the moment.

Have you tried 'Duplicate to...' ?

These appear to be BIMcloud libraries.

Where were these libraries uploaded from?

Yyou can get the original LCF there.
