Allow Publisher to Export PLA (Project Archive) Files

[Pedro Melo]

Currently, Archicad’s Publisher supports various export formats such as PDF, DWG, IFC, BIMx, etc. However, one key format is missing: PLA (Project Archive).

PLAs are essential for long-term backups, handovers, and collaboration, especially when external consultants or project stakeholders need a complete, self-contained file with all linked libraries and resources.

Requested Feature:

👉 Enable PLA as an output option in Publisher Sets.

• Allow users to configure Publisher to generate a .PLA file from the current .PLN.

• Option to include all libraries (as PLA normally does).

• Support for naming rules and saving path like other formats.

I would add option to save .pln as well - this is most common in Teamwork project where we like to save .pln backup in certain stages.
