Similarly, objects saved with the Save Selection as GDL Object will save the resulting files as embedded objects. For example, if you create a custom Stair with StairMaker and click OK to place it, the Save Library Part dialog box appears automatically and prompts you to save the new stair to the Embedded Library: using StairMaker, TrussMaker, RoofMaker) will be added to your project’s Embedded library automatically. Any objects that already exist in other linked libraries will not be embedded. Do Not Embed Duplicates: Click this to avoid duplicates when embedding objects.See Consolidate Multiple ArchiCAD Libraries. Note: It is usually unnecessary to embed objects from an ArchiCAD library the Consolidate function is a better technique for streamlining your ArchiCAD libraries. Check this box to embed these parts as well. Surfaces, zone stamps and property objects are accessory GDL library parts that have been written into certain objects. This is usually relevant only if you are trying to embed objects from an ArchiCAD library. Also embed surfaces, zone stamps and property objects.The appearing dialog box gives you two options associated with the embedding process: (If no objects from the selected library have been placed, this icon is grey, since there is nothing to embed.)ģ. Select the library folder from the Library Manager.Ģ. To embed a library’s placed objects into your project:ġ. To avoid this situation, ensure that all users have sent in their changes before you embed a BIMcloud/BIM Server Library of a Teamwork Project. But since the source library will be removed as part of the embed process, those objects will consequently be shown as “Missing.”
If the other users have not yet sent these changes to the server, those placed objects will not be embedded, because they are not available to your local copy of the project. If you are in Teamwork: It is possible that other users have placed objects from a BIMcloud/BIM Server library that you want to embed. Important: Embedding a library does not embed the entire contents of the library it will only embed those objects which have been placed into the project. If you use this command, the original linked library or BIMcloud/BIM Server Library will be removed from the project. Note: Embedding an object will also automatically load any needed macros along with it. (In Teamwork, only objects that are in your current local copy of the project will be embedded.) This function is useful to ensure that the objects you need will always be available in this project, because they will be embedded. Use this feature to embed all the objects placed from a linked library or BIMcloud/BIM Server Library into the project. When you are finished, click Reload to reload project libraries and close the Library Manager. From any location on your computer, drag and drop the file into the Embedded Objects folder of Library Manager.
Click Browse for Embedded Objects from the Add button’s pop-up list.The chosen object file will now appear in the Embedded Library in Library Manager. (To view and choose items within a folder while browsing the directory dialog box in Windows, you must double-click the folder.) Browse for the desired object file, select it, then click Choose. To add any object file to your Embedded Library, go to Library Manager and do one of the following:
