BIMx File publishing hangs on Pre-processed drawing

Brad Elliott — Tue, 04 Feb 2025 23:18:08 GMT

I'm publishing a BIMx set and one drawing hangs the upload and doesn't publish but allows me to stop the upload. The file that won't upload has it's status as pre-processed. I've tried deleting the document and reloading it but it still doesn't work. Has anyone else seen this issue?

The error seems to be with 'BIMx basic data' and not the pre processed file?

See the yellow warning triangle.

Double click on 'BIMx basic data' and see what it says.

Barry.

It just says it automatically generated a preview.

Hello Brad,

If a user does not provide a preview image in the settings for Project Preview and Architect Credits in BIMx, then the program will generate an image for you. That is all that the message is about. You can eliminate this message by adding your own choice of preview image. Go to the File menu: Info: Project Preview and Architect Credits in BIMx. You then have the choice to paste an image from the clipboard or browsing for an image from the pick list.

Dear Brad,

Thank you for sharing this issue with us!

May I ask you if you are still able to experience the same problem?
If yes, please contact BIMx's technical support at bimx@Graphisoft.com and send the problematic project file in .pla format. The project file should be tested in order to find the cause of the error.
Also, describe if you experience this with other projects or not.

Thank you and have a nice day,

I have the same issue on a BIMcloud file. 2 layout sheets out of 86 are "Pre-processed" blocking the publishing of the BIMx. Tried several times. Past BIMx publishing sets were fine (with same sheets). These 2 layouts seems random, as all settings are the same throughout.

Hi everyone,

Based on the user reports, we have identified two issues that could cause this problem. Both will be fixed in Archicad 28.2.0. These corrections might help you too, but there's also a chance that you experience a different issue.

Therefore, we encourage you to contact bimx@graphisoft.com and send us your project file in PLA format, so we can investigate the problem and advise a solution for your project.

Kind regards,

Oleksandra
