How do I set my defults for library parts?

Anonymous

Hi Everyone,
We would like to know how we can set the defaults on some of our library parts so we don't have to change it each time we use it. For example we like our bath tubs to be 5' long by 3' wide, but each time we put a bath tub in we have to change it to the way we wish. It would save us time if we can default it so it is like this every time we use our library.
Thanks,
Westrick Design

You could make some objects a favorite. Then save the favorites menu in a spot ( on a server) everyone can import it from.

I hope this answered your request,

Open the library part directly (command opt "O") change the parameters and save with a new name (if you change the A,b or zzyzx settings it will effect all the previously placed library parts). So a new object is in order.

That said the other parameters can be changed without effecting the placed library parts (same for windows and doors)
