1. Objects GDL (.gsm).... Put all of downloaded .gsm files (+Macros if any) in a new folder, then open Library Manager, pick Add and select that folder, then OK. Now the folder with objects will be loaded and you can use them.
2. Goodies....Menu Help > ArchiCAD Downloads > Now you are on the Graphisoft home page for GOODIES. Download them, close AC, then run them (they will install in ArchiCAD 14\Add-Ons folder). Restart AC.

"so does this mean that every time i add a new object it will be in a separate folder..." - If you load a single object, it goes into the EMBEDED LIBRARY; If you load a folder with many objects in, it goes into the LINKED LIBRARIES.
"or can i move them from one folder to the next in the manager?" - NO, you can only embed placed objects from selected folders into the EMBEDED LIBRARY.

I'm not clear on how to install new GDL objects either. I've put one in a folder on my Mac, gone into Library Manager and used "Add", and picked the folder. It shows up as a linked library in LM.
But when I try using the Object tool and go to the Object Settings the new linked library is not there. What's up with that?
Thank you for any tips!

Is the object version 13 or older?
It won't be usable in Archicad 13 if the object was created in 14 or 15.
Even though you have the folder loaded correctly it will not appear in the object settings dialogue.

Barry--Thank you. It was created in AC14. Lesson learned!
I added a couple objects from 13 or earlier to the same folder, went to Library Manager, reloaded that linked Library, went to the Object tool settings, and VOILA!--there they are.
