If I create an object from a SketchUp model, it brings in new surfaces in ArchiCAD. If I convert this object to Morph (to simplify some geometry) and save it again, the object retains the original surfaces from SketchUp only in the specific project file where it was created....

Thanks Barry. We have been following the method you explained and ensure that new attributes created in the main container are added to our blank template as well. While we can manage new attributes when our in-house team creates new BIM components, we face challenges when i...

When i place this plant object in default template, it takes 4 different surfaces: These surfaces are index number 70-Paint - Pale Jade, 100-Paint - Pale Blue, 32-Paint - Bordeaux & 18-Paint - Titanium White. I have confirmed that I have the same surfaces with the same index...
