How do I create a new object library?

[Reilly]

I am working on creating a library of objects for my office. Most of these objects have already been created as embedded objects, then exported into a folder on our company dropbox. How do I format this so it can be loaded as a linked library in the library manager? So far, when I try to link the new library folder, the objects do not appear when using the object tool. I have not tried making an lcf file yet as I am still working on and editing some of the objects, but that is next on my list to try once the objects are created.

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon

Would I need to know scripting to make objects "smart" or parametric using the GDL editor? That is the main thing that has limited me to static objects for the time being, until I can test out the LPM. Most of the objects I am creating do not need to be parametric anyways, so I am not overly concerned with that but it would be nice to learn for future use.

In short, yes. 
Param-o can do some things, but as mentioned it’s only 3d and you’ll likely quickly exceed its capabilities.  And LPM’s parametric abilities is really limited to adjustable surfaces in an object. 

if you are looking to get into GDL coding it can be very rewarding.
