If you open the library part and go to the Comment window, you can add a line with the "#" symbol followed by the web address. Then if someone selects the comment option in the library part preview (bottom tiny square button on the left of the preview window), a small square icon with a globe and a text field with the web address will appear above the preview window. Clicking on the globe icon opens your default browser and takes you to the web address. The user really has to know how to find this, generally the preview comment is left empty, so most users never take a look at it.<BR /> <BR /> David Wed, 28 Feb 2007 13:38:43 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Linking-Data-to-Objects-Walls-Windows-Doors-Objects-etc/m-p/104517#M54914 David Maudlin 2007-02-28T13:38:43Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Linking-Data-to-Objects-Walls-Windows-Doors-Objects-etc/m-p/104518#M54915 goose:<BR /> <BR /> B (building) = ok<BR /> I (information) = forget it<BR /> M (modeling) = ok Wed, 28 Feb 2007 14:25:28 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Linking-Data-to-Objects-Walls-Windows-Doors-Objects-etc/m-p/104518#M54915 Rakela Raul 2007-02-28T14:25:28Z
