I use this free site archibase.net to download objects and I use some of archicad library but I dont like the default materials (in archibase objects they all come in grey color - I dont know why). I want to open them as objects in archicad and save them again.<BR /> I used the library -&gt; save selection as, but then it didnt save the 4-5 materials options. It gives me only one material after that. I cannot say it right Im sorry..<BR /> any help appreciated!<BR /> Thank you - happy weekend</T></DIV> Fri, 02 Oct 2009 18:52:42 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/Change-default-materials-of-an-object/m-p/199491#M22907 Anonymous 2009-10-02T18:52:42Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/Change-default-materials-of-an-object/m-p/199492#M22908 SELECT THE OBJECT IN PLAN THEN CTRL+SHIFT+O AND OPEN THE GDL EDITING WINDOW .
