Default settings of objects in library.

[Anonymous]

is there a way to adjust the default settings of objects in the standard Archicad library?

Not directly.

Although it sounds the most logical method, I wouldn't go down the route of extracting the contents of the library, change the default settings, then pack it back into a new lcf as you will have problems later when parts are updated.

The best ways to do it would be either to use favorites, or a visual legend as suggested in the article below.

Hope that helps!

nope. won't be doing that.

I think the visual legend-trace reference sounds more useful.
