Complex Profiles Problem

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 13:55:25 GMT

Hi guys.

I have a problem with complex profiles in Archicad 10. In that when I Purge Unused profiles in the Attribute Manager, they come back after I have resaved the file after working on it again.

an example.

I'm working on a large building which I have created a number of profiles for the curtain wall system.

The building is split into 3 modules, which are then linked into a master file.

If i'm working on the tower module and make or amend a profile that I have created, it seems to bring in all of these unwanted "default" profiles back in. Which then show up in the master file after I have updated the modules. Is there a way to stop these profiles from coming back into each file?
I've even gone to the extent of creating a blank master file with no profiles, and remaking the ones I want, and then importing everything into the new blank file, which seemed okay, until i checked in the attribute manager, and the default profiles came back in!

Any help would be really great.

Thanks, Rob.

Are you working in .MOD or .PLN files?

.MOD file attributes are "transparent" - they take-on file attributes of the previously accessed .PLN file. If you are working in .MOD files you are wasting your time trying to purge attributes.

Unfortunately, it's an apparent bug.
