<h2>Loading Objects from

the Data Library </h2>
|
|
<p class=MsoNormal>The Data Library has four primary sets of graphic elements (icons, models, online models, and building textures) that you can add to your project. In addition to the local data objects, the Data Library also includes online models that can be accessed if there is an Internet connection. </p>
