To handle IFC hotlinks effectively in Teamwork today, IFC libraries must first be exported locally, then manually uploaded to BIMcloud, and finally re-linked into the project.
The option being Embedding them and slowing down the file.
This feels unnecessarily fragmented for a cloud-based workflow.
Why can’t IFC libraries be linked directly through BIMcloud?
And why does every new IFC import generate a completely new library instead of updating the existing one?
Rather than saving the libraries to either Embedded or External location, there should be a third option:
Save to BIMcloud (and link automatically).
Archicad should then recognize and reference the library immediately, without the export-store-upload-relink cycle.
A smoother BIMcloud-based IFC workflow would reduce friction, eliminate redundant file handling, and streamline collaboration.
