Component Libraries
When modeling a building, you can utilize a variety of
components that are stored in the libraries. Each library has its
own folder in the software folder structure, containing:
- Component model or drawing data files, containing all of the
data related to each component.
- A database used to manage the library.
As a system administrator, you can add and delete libraries and
components. You can edit a library in the following ways, depending
on the type of the library:
- Edit the library in the dialog box
You can create and edit libraries and preview components in the
dialog box. When adding a component to the building model, you must
select it in the same dialog box. These libraries include the wall
library, floor and ceiling library, truss library, label library
and the library of sheet templates for panel drawings.
Opening a Component
Library for Editing
- Edit the library in the database view
You can edit libraries in the database view, where components
are displayed, divided into rows. When adding a component to the
building model, you must select it in the visual browser. These
libraries include building component libraries, window and door
libraries and various joint libraries.

Note
- The component libraries of the system are located in the
system/complibs folder. They cannot be edited. You can only edit
customer-specific libraries in the custom/complibs folder.
