Why Can I Not Create a Custom Library?

[equackenbush]

What I'm trying to do seems like such a simple thing, and I'm sure it must have a simple answer that I'm just not getting.

I've taken the stock ArchiCAD 14 base cabinet object and altered its parameters to match each of our office standards for casework. I now have them all laid out in a view, and want to convert them into new library parts to put in a custom library that only contains our office standard casework.

We chose to do this, rather than just save them all as favorites, to lessen the number of favorites that are listed, since we have a favorites library of many other objects.

That said, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get these little suckers into a custom library. Every time I try to save them as a new object, all the parameters get stripped out of them and they become "dumb" objects, which doesn't help me at all. I really don't know what to do. Anyone done this before? Am I missing something really simple?

You must open them as objects (you should see the GDL parameter window). Then save them with a new name to a folder in your office library location.

Just to clarify what Erich has said.
You need to open the object's script and then alter the parameters there.
Then "Save as" with a new name in your custom library.
