Can't upload ArchiCAD Library?

Anonymous — Wed, 21 Jan 2015 18:31:45 GMT

First of all, thank you for the time and help.

My Library Manager says there are 'Missing Objects'. I went to Add my ArchiCAD 17 Library, but I can not select the folder. I have looked through the forum and can not locate a similar issue. Attached is a reference image. Please help.

Kind Regards,
Jakub Galczynski

When you 'Add' in the library manager choose the option to 'Link Library' rather than 'Browse for Embedded Objects'.

Are you opening a 17 filein 18? If so you should have had a pop-up asking you which of the following you wanted to do:
1. Chose to load the 18 library and then load the 'Migration libraries'. This will auto-convert many of the 17 library parts to 18. The migration libraries should cover the remaining non-18 parts.

2. Or, you can open the file in 18 and choose to load the 17 library instead of the 18 one.

If none of the above, post a screenshot of your library manager so we can see what is happening.

Erika, this is an older project that I am finishing off and not migrating to 18. I do select 'Browse for Embedded Objects'. The issue (as shown in one of my reference images) is that the Browser does not allow me to select ArchiCAD 17 Library. I have had this issue before and it required me to simply select / re-link ArchiCAD 17. Not sure what is happening here, this time.
