For teams working simultaneously on a single building, ArchiCAD utilizes the .TPL and .BPN formats for management. A .TPL file is a Project Template. Templates are essential for firms to maintain standards, as they pre-define layers, pens, favorite tools, and structural settings. On the other hand, the .BPN file is an automatic Backup Project. ArchiCAD generates this file every time you save your .PLN. If a main file becomes corrupted or a mistake is made, changing the .BPN extension to .PLN allows you to recover the last saved version of your work.
When using Archicad’s (the native collaboration system), you do not directly open .pln files. Instead, the project exists on a server, and you work on local cache files:
