Put the texture in a folder, then use the Library Manager to add that folder to the loaded libraries. Most of your questions can be answered by searching the forum and the ArchiCAD Help files.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

Downloaded 3D objects:
- If they are 3DS they do not keep textures. You have to assign Materials to them.
- If they are GSM, they must have come with textures in they forder, which you have to upload to the Library. Some of them keep information on their Materials and create such ones, but if they don't, you have to make such a Material and assing it to the object.

Hope this helps!
