How to open GSM files

Anonymous
Not applicable
Ok, this might be a stupid question;), but how can I open .gsm files? This is supposed to be native Archicad files downloaded from bimobjects, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to open it.

Can someone point me to the manual where it says how to open them?

Thanks.

ok, go into library manager and add file;)

Can't find any documentation where it says to do that, though, but got it now;)

If you go to the Object Settings Dialog and search for the given file on BIMComponents.com, it will find it and you can download it. The reason this is good is because it will download it and add it to your Embedded Library at the same time.

If you place the Object, then you can select it and use the File\Libraries and Objects\Open Object command to open it for editing (CTRL+SHIFT+O).
