Organize Library parts

Anonymous — Sun, 27 May 2007 10:00:24 GMT

hello everyone!

i wanted to ask sth about libraries.
i have many libraries that i bought through internet and now i want to organize them. i have for example 5 libraries that all contain sofas or beds, i want to take all the sofas together in a folder and not searching every time in every library folder. meaning im trying to create one library with all my libraries together. but i dont know if the sofa001 for example file goes with sth else. it stands alone? i dont know. i hope someone understand what im trying to say.
thanks

I think I understand. You are wondering if, for example, "Sofa001" needs any macros to operate properly so you can make sure you have all the needed bits in your assembled library.

Most libraries that use macros (all that I am aware of) keep them in separate folders (usually with the word "macro" in the name). I would suggest that you make a folder in your combined library to place all these macros, and put them in subfolders that are named according to the original library that they come from.

Make sure that you keep intact copies of the original libraries just in case.
