What is correct way to share PARAM-o objects for Public use (Freeware) ?

Hi,

 

I made custom PARAM-o object and want to share with Archicad users for free. What is right way to do that ?

I never had time to play with Param-o, but I believe it must have equal functionality to Archicad GDL editor in terms of licensing:

If you want to share your work with other users for free, you need to put it under the Public Domain Dedication 1.0.

As for sharing such library parts you can publish them here or on BIMcomponents.com.

Did you try adding it here? I am curious to know if it works. It would be a good starting point.

Hi, 

 

Good idea. Will try to upload in separate Tread.
