The EQ8 Block Library has 5 sections:
- EQ Block Library section: This section will always be available for you to use each time you open the program. All the Blocks in the EQ Block Library section come with the installation of EQ8. None of these blocks can be deleted from the program, so you don’t have to worry about accidentally removing any of these.
- My Favorite Blocks section: This section allows you to create your own library with your favorite blocks. After you’ve named and saved these libraries, they will be available each time you open EQ8.
- Current Sketchbook section: This section displays the blocks currently in your Project Sketchbook.
- Search Results section: This section displays the blocks found in your search. To use these blocks, you need to click Add to Sketchbook, otherwise you will need to search for them again.
- Import Results section: This section displays the blocks you import into the library using the Import feature. Once you’ve imported them to the library, you need to click Add to Sketchbook to add them to your Project Sketchbook.
