Then do a Find &amp; Select by ID. Place a fresh instance of that part and recreate it correctly but you may need to reload the project or at least the library prior to placing the part, so the parameters reset to the defaults. If they're wrong, you'll need to edit the GDL code. <BR /> <BR /> Cheers,<BR /> Link.

You will need to cut the model down (using the heavy marquee or layers) to narrow down the possible library parts until you discover the problematic one(s). Then you will need to adjust the parameter(s) of the part to fix the error message.<BR /> <BR /> David Sat, 12 Mar 2011 12:22:03 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/Locating-broken-damaged-object/m-p/187051#M17726 David Maudlin 2011-03-12T12:22:03Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/Locating-broken-damaged-object/m-p/187052#M17727 Macros are tougher to track down and GS would do well to improve the process. Surely the ArchiCAD database knows what part is using the macro and that could be included in the report?<BR /> <BR /> At least with this one it's pretty safe to assume it's coming from a door. <BR /> <BR /> Cheers,<BR /> Link.
