# My Library

**My Library** is a tab of the Library window dedicated to you, where you can store fixtures or models.

This library is shared with all your projects.

![My Library](https://4198123652-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MhIYO0xEuDDA2b69m5L%2Fuploads%2FczTQ4cCp6nDBX7hDK62h%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=052765b0-cd3c-40a2-933e-84062f7e283e)

## Organization

To organize your personal library, you can create/delete/rename folders *(right-click on the left panel to display the dropdown menu)*:

{% hint style="danger" %}
Important:

You cannot store objects in the **My Library** root folder, at least one folder must exist to be able to store an object.
{% endhint %}

## Store an object in My Library

To store a fixture or a model within **My Library**, this object should be already present in the Scene Graph.&#x20;

Select the folder where to store it, then select the object to store and drag and drop it into the right panel of **My Library**:

1. Select the folder where to store your object.
2. Select your object selection (use the hand icon ![](https://4198123652-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MhIYO0xEuDDA2b69m5L%2Fuploads%2FxDKHVMrATvwLYTIUEAwr%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=3fd04d28-3237-4d07-a873-0f1b62d8ed8f)).
3. Drag and drop your selection in the right panel of **My Library.**

![Give a name to your object:](https://4198123652-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MhIYO0xEuDDA2b69m5L%2Fuploads%2FEMDSpG6wA7kVMtU9Rklt%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=d3933c85-ab8c-4520-a8e2-19bc597aa719) ![Adjust the rendering setting as you prefer, and take a picture of your object to define its thumbnail by pressing Enter](https://4198123652-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MhIYO0xEuDDA2b69m5L%2Fuploads%2Fk9R5lHWgkZrve2k61Kjs%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=b28e2892-c142-493b-a4a3-1f8e525d1fb7)

Congratulations! You have added your first model to **My library**!

{% hint style="info" %}
Depence stores the [transformation](/depence-construction/depence-editor-tools/transformation.md) matrix applied between your object and the scene graph *(null transformation matrix for fixture)*.
{% endhint %}

### Fixture

For modular fixtures *(fountains, or motorized fixtures)*, it can be useful to store these inside **My Library** to allow easy placement later on.

The way to store them is the same as for an object.

Example of a motorized fixture:

![Orbisfly Windch - 3m height assembled with the Orbisfly Big Tube (see modular fixtures)](https://4198123652-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MhIYO0xEuDDA2b69m5L%2Fuploads%2FS1gJlDidIDjuYs73u1pg%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=4f01f85a-8c13-47e2-b01d-5b81fa30151b) ![Fixture assembled](https://4198123652-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MhIYO0xEuDDA2b69m5L%2Fuploads%2FQnuhj4ClF6WDlVaUwXIm%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=b8e9767f-501d-4192-8103-b4f53f9e5901)

From now on, you can use your assembled fixture with the [Fixture Hang Tool](/depence-construction/depence-add-fixtures-and-objects/depence-fixture-hang-tool.md):
