add objects and textures in archicad 16

[paolosbu]

Hello everyone, I just registered and I don't know if it's right to ask this question here, so I apologize in advance. I would like to know how to install objects in archicad 16. I downloaded the objects from archibase.net including the textures, and they are all .rar , I would like to know kindly all the steps I have to do to install them correctly, because uploading them simply with archicad are not displayed well in 3d. I thank you in advance for the answers.

objects that download and "integrated" in the program, are read by archicad as "objects of the library". by default archicad reads from an integrated library located inside the program folder. Therefore if you want you can simply move these objects (if they are .rar or .zip you must obviously unzip them and move the folder) into the library folder (number version) (ex library 16) which is located inside the graphisoft folder that is in turn on programs generally (depends even if you have mac or pc).
or, there is a "bookshop manager" (I'm not sure it is called this - in the English version it is "library manager" that you find on archicad -> file. tell them to the program as "object cards = bookcases" read. If you want to put your items on a personal folder, just add a library manager and indicate where it is located

archibase objects you will never see them in archicad as in previews because they are converted from other formats without the application of materials. even if the textures are often attached, in the internal instructions (gdl) of the object there are no instructions that recall them.

Sorry if I'm wrong, but I'm also taking advantage of solving a doubt about program libraries. Specifically, I would like to know if the files in the furniturecad library use the same extensions as archicad and if you can use them on the second program. Thank you.

No. archicad has a proprietary format.
