# 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.

## 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://content.gitbook.com/content/SJPsyh5CBOise9BtVNGO/blobs/m9dQNdSNLIr4NiOQLPYh/image.png)).
3. Drag and drop your selection in the right panel of **My Library.**

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

{% hint style="info" %}
Depence stores the [transformation](https://help.depence.com/depence-construction/depence-editor-tools/transformation) 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:

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