Custom door leaf-Disappears when reopening project

Karl Wir_n — Wed, 24 May 2023 08:51:30 GMT

Hello!
We have problems using custom door components at the office. For example yesterday i created a custom door leaf and it worked fine, showing perfectly in both 2d and 3d. I saved the project on our server and reopened it this morning. In this case the leaf was gone but the custom handle I also added, was still there. Other times it can be the other way around, and this is not the first project in which I'm having these problems. I have tried reloading the libraries, but even if the door shows up in the embedded library it can't be chosen in the door leaf dialog in the door object settings. The door leaf is saved as subtype "individuellt dörrblad" (Swedish for custom door leaf). It's AC 16 this time but the same problem has appeared in previous versions too.
Would be great if anyone could contribute in finding a solution to this.
Best regards
Karl Wirén

Hi Karl,
I was browsing the forum and found your question unanswered.
I'll try the most stupid suggestions I can think of:

1) have you tried renaming the door leaf so that it does not use the umlaut character in the file name?

2) file permissions on the server (especially if you are using ACL)?

I have exactly same problem. I believe this most be a bug. A workaround is to save a new custom door leave. Even a simple one that you are not planning to use. The problem is you will end up with as many library parts (that you don't need) as times you open your project and custom elements are not showing up.

Ok, I'm not the only one struggling with custom components. I guess we now can say that this is not a problem localised to a single computer or server. Nor can it be a problem with a certain language pack (since I assume Sightline isn't working with the Swedish AC edition).
I too discovered that "hidden" custom components can reappear when saving new ones, but just as Diego I'm not satisfied with the solution.

Still having this problem, now in 25 and with cabinet panels as well. Any chance of fixing this bug?
