In other words, I would like my team to have access to a specific surface, in all projects. Eventually I would like a custom Library, that my team has access to, without having to add the surfaces into the library. Can anyone help me? Thank you - Jakub</T></DIV> Thu, 11 May 2023 10:50:42 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Visualization/Adding-New-Surfaces-to-BIM-Server-ArchiCad-18-Library/m-p/221266#M5950 Anonymous 2023-05-11T10:50:42Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Visualization/Adding-New-Surfaces-to-BIM-Server-ArchiCad-18-Library/m-p/221267#M5951 Surfaces are attributes that are stored in the actual Archicad file.<BR /> So you either need to create new ones in your file (and/or template) or use the Attribute Manager to import them from other files.<BR /> <BR /> The texture files (i.e. jpg) are stored in the library and they can be used in your surfaces but you have to edit the surfaces in the Archicad file itself.<BR /> You can add them into your existing office library or even create a new library for your textures.<BR /> Don't add them to the default Graphisoft library as they will be replace if you ever update it.<BR /> <BR /> Then just make sure the office library is re-loaded or the new library is loaded in you file.<BR /> I'm not sure exactly how that works with teamwork - but I assume you just need to update or add a library to your BIM server and then have all users re-load them.<BR /> <BR /> Barry.
