Can I import an Archicad Model into my Archicad model as a reference?

Thanks.  Serves me right for asking a yes/no question.  How do I do that properly?  If I currently have a project with 3 buildings.  Is it possible to extract one of the buildings into a separate file?  I've done this before in Revit, but don't know how to do so in Archicad.  Is there a good guide to doing this?

You need to read about "Modules".

Usually in AC you will work with one file per building and then link them as modules (which can be the AC file also) in your master site. Using File->External Content-> Place Hotlink.

In AC there is also the  to "Publish" the particular building as a module and then place the module with Place Hotlink.
