If I take a newly created stair, which is auto saved to the Embedded library, and then select it and save to a folder in "MyLibrary" it want reload for further use. It is in that folder as per Finder (Mac menu). so it's there, but will not show as available in the library after reloading... or in another pln, (reloaded library) which is where I want to use it, and a few others that are missing in action. All the stairs I have make in AC13 and saved to my library for further use are there in the library, but not accessible in the Stair Object menu. I'm not getting along very well with this new feature.
The only work around I have found is to copy/paste that stair from another pln into the new Embedded library.
thanks

In the project A where you created the stair, open the library manager. In the embedded library select the stair a and click on the export button. You can navigate to a folder, or create on new one on the fly, to place it in.
In the project B where you want to use it open the library manager either browse for embedded library object or click the big ADD button, navigate to that folder you made and your stair should now load correctly.

The handling of stairs did change between the beta and the final version, so it's entirely possible that they work differently now. The point is, Stairs must be in the embedded library to work properly, so the correct way to re-use a stair in another project is to export it, and then import it into the other file's embedded library the way Erika described. This is also documented here:

At one point Stairmaker stopped allowing editing of pre-dated stairs, which I understand that need. However, now as I want to replace a standard stair, I can no longer simply browse the tool and place a stair. I need to export/import to do so, a waste of time, and a pain. I guess I will have to open those plns (which want be easy to figure out) I made stairs in under AC13, and export those to an external separate folder for importing, or cearte a separate pln just to keep stairs that I can open and copy/paste... uggg.
I really hope you can bring back the ability to keep created stairs and objects in our custom linked library... not limited to an embedded one. I am fine if once placed that object/stair is embedded, but I need easy fast access for many common stair configurations.
thanks
ps.. it sure would be a great time saver if we could store our user preferences for all the many pen/fill/fonts/etc we need to select every time we build a stair. That would save a lot of time making a stair.

This behavior seems quite strange, as a library part is a library part is a library part... and it should not matter where it is loaded from - embedded, local or server. If it
Cheers,

Only problem is if you modify that Stair. Then ArchiCAD will not know which version it should be using.

I think if it is the exact same Stair there should not be trouble.
