having trouble placing downloads where I need them

Hi Lorna,
Great news that you are now able to use the file. Yes, Modlar is completely free to use, we have a huge database of architectural products with specification details and many products have BIM/CAD files. We also have a great collection of inspirational photos of beautiful, cool and interesting architectural projects. I hope you enjoy exploring our site and feel free to get in touch again if you have any other questions.

Hi Liz,

I hadn't extracted the file. I have done that now and it has worked.

Is this a free website?

Thank you for your time and help

Hi Lorna, I have just downloaded the file and was able to extract it to a gsm file. Have you been able to do that or does the zip file not want to extract on your device?

Hi Liz,

I'm using a 'Microsoft Surface Book' with Windows 10 and the product which I've tried to download is

bosch_ventilation_hui5_5354_archicad_modlar

Hi Lorna,
Sorry for the misunderstanding. Could you let me know what device and operating system you are using, so we can look into the problem? And if there is a specific product you have downloaded files from, can you copy the URL for me so I can see if I can replicate the issue?

Hi Liz,

That wasn't the problem I was having. I found the appropriate Archicad file, I just was having trouble opening the zip file and placing the source file where I needed it.

Hi Lorna,
Not all products have ArchiCAD files, but you can do a filter search to show products that do have them.
First do a product search and then scroll down to Formats in the left-hand bar and click on the "ArchiCAD" tick. This will put a filter on your search to show only products that have ArchiCAD files attached to them.
Let me know if there is anything else I can help with!
