Ok, so i signed up for "Bimobject" entered my user identification key. set user settings "download symbol to active drawings only"
Clicked on an object on the Bimobject site (thru vectorworks via the Bimobject tool) got to the download window and tried to down load both an IFC and a Rivit model.
When I tried to place the object in a new drawing I get an "X" with a dotted box around it. But no object is placed, nor is one downloaded into the Resource Browser.
Any advice
After further research (I should have continued reading the help section) sketch up file type worked just fine.
Select the file format to download (either .vwx, or a compatible format such as .dwg, .skp, or .3ds), and click to download the file.
