Thank you, and I suspect the same. However some older files appear in a different structure. If possible exist coding in template and not in ArchiCAD ? Sorry for my English

The structure displayed in that menu depends on what libraries are loaded. There is a GSM file for each type on that menu that defined that type.
If you extract the ARCHICAD 19 LCF into a folder, then go to the

"Object Library 19\3. MACROS 19\Custom Object Macros 19\Collection Macros 19"

folder you will find the list of types that define what appears in that list.

If other libraries are installed, some of these may be missing so the list is different in the menu as well.

You can add an item there as a subtypte of the Custom Comp Colectio.
and Custom Component Template.

I do not remember at the moment - I would have to try to remind...but here is the library I have made 2 years ago as a "present" for Polish AC forum users. Analysing the macros can drive You to the way how to make Yourself a needed part/accessory

I can translate this object to English if Anyone is interested. However I hope the usage is quite clear, I enclose the manual also in Polish - I can translate it too.

The library contains the multipurpose objects for multiplication, free rotate - 2 ways and skew.

Piotr,

Thanks for chiming in.
I started searching for some documentation and I just found this link:

http://www.graphisoft.com/ftp/techsupport/documentation/developer_docs/BasicLibraryDoc/16/LibDevGuid...

So it is actually possible to create new Type Templates and Collection Macros. The above article explains how.

This actually opens a lot of possibilities because it means that with enough time and GDL knowledge one can tweak many default ARCHICAD GDL Objects to accept and work with custom components.

Thank you very much. It's better than I hoped
Alexa.

I played the YOUTUBE video and looks interesting, however, it has no voice over and the actions are so fast that is impossible to follow the selections sequence.
Downloaded the file, extracted the folders and there is no instructions where to place the contents of the MultiplicatorV11 folder
Any way you can provide us some guidance to use this Library Part ?

Load entire folder in the active library. That`s all.

I tried to upload the object (bimcomponents) and receive the following errors:

c:\Wope\WopeResources\XML6534\tt2t.pla\ArchiCAD Library 19\0LIB19\MultiplicatorV1.17\MultiplicatorV1.20\obiecteV11\objb11.xml(0) : warning: Placeable symbol called in "MultiplicatorV1.20". This probably causes subsequent errors and warnings such as: 'MY_PARAMETER' isn't a valid parameter name; duplicate UNIDs; missing parameters.
c:\Wope\WopeResources\XML6534\tt2t.pla\ArchiCAD Library 19\0LIB19\MultiplicatorV1.17\MultiplicatorV1.20.xml(2037) : warning: (in Script_1D) : Uninitialized variable

can someone explain these errors?
