Objects Library from other source

Anonymous

I am using an objects library that is customised for use in Western Australia. I am not able to enquire directly what other users here in WA are using and wonder if anyone out there can advise on what they use, with a bit of a recommendation? I will even accept Australia-wide standards!

Most users in resi in WA use a form of the 4D library. There is a fair bit of CAD image used as well especially in the commercial side!
There are also guys like Barry Kelly that have built some great stuff for the
companies they work for over the years but these ones aren't generally available outside of those companies!

Barry is incredibly helpful round here too Dennis! Good guy!!
That said though, the 4D Lib is definitely one of the most comprehensive libs around!!
The best part is it's built for the market here and that makes it worth it 10 times over!!!

They shouldn't be available anywhere outside our company - but I know they do tend to 'leak' out somtimes.

Dennis is familiar with our company library from when he has done work for us.
Unfortunately it is not mine to give away (or sell so I could be rich like Ben ).
Besides it is geared up to work with our template and the way we do things as a company.


The only other Aussie flavoured library I know of it the Austrailian Essentials Library which you should have access to if you have an Archicad subscription.

I can't say what it is like though as I don't use it.
