convert type of object

Hi,

sorry but my english is not really good, but i try to write my problems. Well I downloaded some 3d objects, but i can't use it. When I imported to the archicad, the object was a normal object, but I need a window.

When I not convert the object I cant use like a window, because i cant build it into the wall. Just a simple object.

When I convert to window, it is rotated, so i cant use it again.

Have you define a Window as the subtype of the library part?
In the Library Part Editing Dialog you have to use the "Select Subtype" button for this.
