It turns out that all I need to do is place these downloaded objects into the "Archicad Library" folder located within the AC (ver. #) folder. I also found out that if I created a library folder tree that matches the folder tree of the AC Library Ver.# and place my downloaded objects into the associated folder in the tree (eg. "Door" folder / "wood door" folder / "type" door folder and so on) I have access to all of the downloaded objects using the icons in the design toolbox. Now I have the library working the way I want I am concerned about what will happen when it comes time to upgrade to the next version of AC. When the upgrade happens will the installation software ensure that the objects I have downloaded will get placed into the new version of AC's "Archicad Library (Ver.#) folder or will it require that I manually move the download folder tree to the new library folder. While I understand that moving folders is not difficult to do it is always nice if the upgrading software does it automatically. Does anyone at AC know what will happen?</T></DIV> Wed, 24 May 2023 07:54:30 GMT wile e coyote genius 2023-05-24T07:54:30Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/keeping-libraries-when-upgrading/m-p/279527#M1598 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>I have found a way to have all my libraries open when I launch a new project without having to add my downloaded library objects using the Library Manager.

Each new version uses its own library.
