Archicad 11 Layout Book File

joelsdg — Fri, 08 May 2026 23:47:30 GMT

One for the Way Back Machine, but I'm trying to open a LBK file from Archicad 11 using AC 26 but AC26 crashes every time.

Anyone have any thoughts on how I can open this old LBK file?

Thanks in Advance,

Joel

I’m not sure if it works for a Layout Book. If you open Archicad first then navigate to the Layout Book file you want to open and make sure you select the checkbox to repair the file if it’s available for Layout Books, that might work.

Just did a test with a 8.1 version.

The AC file opened without issues and the saved views were there.

Trying to open the LBK crashes AC.

The LBK couldn't be merged.

No repair option in AC26.

Try Archicad 25

i don't know if going to an earlier version will help.
