"Other Objects" blue folder in library load

[Anonymous]

Can anyone tell me the purpose of this, or what this means when objects are located under this heading?

Some of my IFC import items end up here.. are they just duplicates? can i located them in my Default IFC LIB?

The blue folder is for individual objects that are loaded unlike a file folder or other library.

yes where are they located on my hard disk? and why doesnt the program prompt me to validate a folder for items that load under the blue folder? instead it palces them arbitrarily into a graphisoft folder...

it is very confusing esp. when working with IFCs

If you click on one of them does it show the path in the space below the list?

Yes, the path does show.

I will note that it is rare that I load an individual object; If I need it for a project it belongs in its appropriate loaded folder.
