PDF with Graphic display of all Library parts?

[Anonymous]

In some previous version, I remember there was a PDF that showed pictures, names and organization of all library parts. It was pretty handy when you are trying to find something slightly esoteric, such as a roll-down security gate.

I looked in documentaion, but found no such file.

Anyone know where it might reside?

Or is this feature no longer included?

Thanks.

it is no longer included. But maybe if you put the new features list (it always inlcudes new GDL objects) behind each other you might find what you need. Also, by using find library parts you can search in the library. Open the default settings of the object tool and in the left top corner select the pull-down menu and choose Find Library Parts.

There is a poll to bring back this feature here:

Not many votes either way (yet)...

A possible workaround is to use the Special Menu 'Place all Objects' command from the Special Menu which will flood the floor plan with one copy of every library object for viewing in 2D or 3D:

This is not as useful as the old PDF though because the old catalog showed some of the possible variants for objects - e.g., tables that change shape and leg configuration. The Place All will only show the default parameters, hence just one table in this case. One would still have to fiddle with objects (usually furniture) to see what secrets lurk inside.

Cheers,

Thanks Karl for pointing out the poll.

It would be great if GSWould supply it again, or perhaps a web browser...
