What is an LCF file?
An LCF file is a library container file that stores a complete hierarchy of libraries used by GRAPHISOFT Archicad, an architectural design program. It may contain individual objects and folder structures, .PLA files, and other LCF files accessible by a user designing a building.
More Information
GRAPHISOFT Archicad is a building information modeling (BIM) application with various modeling capabilities. Architects commonly use the software to design building structures, including interiors, exteriors, and landscapes.
Archicad has a default LCF library, but you may also create or open custom libraries with the software. For example, you can save all libraries and library objects that are loaded with an Archicad project into a single LCF file using the Archicad Library Manager (accessible by selecting ). One advantage of saving libraries in the LCF format is that they load two to three times faster than individual libraries.
