Reloading updated Types from library

    Hi,

    I want to reload an updated type, what's the best process here?

    The project library loading option doesn't have a refresh option, so I tried saving the updated (door) type under a new name but it didn't work (and I want it to be the same name). I found the temporary solution by duplicating existing type, unlinking Ifc (to get the new type), renaming, relinking Ifc, loading the new type by project library.

    I think this isn't the correct way as it takes a lot of time AND the geometry changes to triangles (somewhere along the way, I can't consistently reproduce it). I want it to be te same as the original.

    I tried doing it with this option I found, but it changed nothing (what is it for?)

    Does anybody know the solution? Thanks!

    Edit: The library does have a refresh option but it doesn't reload the types and updates appearances in my case.

    The updated doortype

    The placed doortype in another project, where pressing the button does nothing

    I found a simpler and I think the normal way ;)

    Just delete the types from type directory, refresh with the button in the image above and then you should be able to relink them. I think this way always deletes your placed elements, so maybe there is another where you don't need to delete the type first?

    Of course!
