A PLC file may also be a teamwork project draft created with GRAPHISOFT Archicad architectural designing software. It stores all model data and views from Archicad for a .PLP teamwork project but is stored on the user's local machine instead of hosted on BIMcloud. PLC files are similar to .PLN solo projects but connected to PLP files for sending and receiving updates to and from the teamwork project hosted on BIMcloud.
