I seem to be getting older.... here is another how to import materials question. where is my problem ? Have loaded a list of archicad 15 materials and have added them to linked libraries in the Library Manager. They will not show. If I delete the old and original linked library the old materials will still show, but without the attached picture files... In the Attribute Manager I can delete all materials... but how to I load the new ones... So my question: how to load materials in archicad 15 thanks b

benatacad:

Materials (Surfaces in AC17) are not library parts, they are Attributes, so can be transferred to a file via the Attribute Manager (or copying an element with the Material assignment from another file). The Vectorial Hatching that can be assigned to a Material is also an Attribute and is handled the same way. Textures that can also be assigned to a Material are bit mapped image files that are loaded via the Library Manager.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
