Update Building Components
Use this function to update changes made in the library or to
the geometric presentation of a component to the building
components in the project. You can update the following
changes:
- The component type has been changed in the library.
- A new parameter has been added to a component in the
library.
- A drawing or model file in a component library folder
(../custom/complibs/macro_custom, for example) has been opened and
the geometry has been edited.
- The application development program that creates the component
geometry has been edited.
- The geometry of a component in the project has been opened and
edited. You can restore the component geometry according to the
library.
- The geometric properties of the component label have been
edited.
Update the building component as follows:
- Select
Building Components > Advanced > 
Update

The Update Library Components dialog box opens. All the building
components in the project that match the type selected in the
Filter list are displayed in the list in the dialog

- The program cannot find a component in the library in the
following cases:

change the parameter value, the changes will not be updated in the
building components in the project.

when opening a project. See Updating Building Components
