Just updated my library with fix v 3419.137, and now my bottom window casings have dropped a bit. is this my problem or the library's?

Hi Geof,

Thanks for the report! You spotted a very ugly bug.

We think we made a fix for it and the fix will be released in a library update in January. Would you be interested in trying the fixed library part before the release? I could send you the fixed macro and you could put it into your library. It definitely wouldn't be an official release just a trial version for you.

What do you think?

We're very sorry about this regression bug:(

Best regards,

Sure -- let me know if you'd like me to test it in any particular way.

Thanks!

Hi Geof,

I'd appreciate if you could confirm that our changed fixed the problem in your practice.

I uploaded 2 files to this Web FTP Taxi:

You can fix your library in two ways:
1. In case you have an extracted library, you can download 'Casing.gsm' and replace yours deep in the Macros folder.
2. In case you use a standard installed library, just load the uploaded LCF instead of the one in the installed package. You shouldn't overwrite your installed LCF file.

This LCF SHOULD NOT be used an official library update (it just fixes this special issue). The files will be removed automatically in a few days. A new USA library update will come in January...

Geof, thanks for the testing, I hope this quick fix serves as a better thank you 😉

Regards,

Just getting to this now.

In Library Manager, I took out ArchiCAD Library 13, and tried to add LIB13-USA-3419.137-HOTFIX1-MAC, but it was greyed out.

Not sure how to add the library part itself...?

Geof, if you have the updated part, as I do, then first you have to extract your library
and follow the path
ArchiCAD 13 Library:MACROS 13:Base Macros 13:Casing.gsm
then replace the faulty part.

Ah, the old extracted library trick, eh? I feel like such a pro now.

All's well. Casing shows properly in elevation, section, and 3D.

Thanks all.

Thanks for checking!

USA Library Update 2 will be assembled and tested this week. I hope we can release it next week.
