See Settings of Library Part Elements.
When you open an Archicad Project, Archicad automatically runs a check to ensure that all needed libraries and library parts are up to date and available. If there are any issues, the Action Center or Library Manager provides information.
See Troubleshooting Library Issues.
You will find most of the objects you need for your project in the Archicad Library, or library packs. The objects are organized into folders and sub-folders to make it easy to locate what you need. The Archicad Library is comprehensive, although localized versions of Archicad libraries will contain special objects which are localized for the standards of particular countries.
See also Change localization of GDL Objects.
All of these files can be opened in Archicad with the File > Libraries and Objects > Open Object command and they can be created in Archicad with the File > Libraries and Objects > New Object command. You can also create objects graphically, using other Archicad elements, and then saving them as an Object file.
