Then save them with a new name to a folder in your office library location.

I now have them all laid out in a view, and want to convert them into new library parts to put in a custom library that only contains our office standard casework. <BR /> <BR /> We chose to do this, rather than just save them all as favorites, to lessen the number of favorites that are listed, since we have a favorites library of many other objects.<BR /> <BR /> That said, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get these little suckers into a custom library. Every time I try to save them as a new object, all the parameters get stripped out of them and they become "dumb" objects, which doesn't help me at all. I really don't know what to do. Anyone done this before? Am I missing something really simple?</T></DIV> Tue, 07 Jun 2011 20:40:22 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/Why-Can-I-Not-Create-a-Custom-Library/m-p/124291#M16699 equackenbush 2011-06-07T20:40:22Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/Why-Can-I-Not-Create-a-Custom-Library/m-p/124292#M16700 You must open them as objects (you should see the GDL parameter window).
