Zone Favorite Missing

ok, on my laundry list of library posts for the day. I added the .libpacks to a project, updated all elements that were missing, including the zone stamp library part in the zone attribute settings. No zone categories show missing. The zone favorites still show missing... what gives? (screen shot shows the favorites pallet with "missing" ?, and the edit favorite showing the zone stamp definitely NOT missing).

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon

Were the favourites created in 28/29?

If they were created in an earlier version you will have to replace or edit them.

There is a tool for updating Favourites that works very well if that is the issue you are having. I used it to convert 600 Favourites and almost all of them transferred straight across.

tried editing them; they show missing in the favorites no matter what I did. I just deleted them all and rebuilt them from updated zone categories.

Here is a link to what I think Lee is referring to.... this one is on the Australian website.

Graphisoft Favourite Converter

"Starting with Archicad 29, if you opt to use the Global Library, your previously saved favorites will need to be converted for compatibility. This is a one-time process, after which your favorites will work seamlessly with all future versions of Archicad. To assist with this, we provide a tool that automatically converts a significant portion of your favorites and lists any parameters that require manual adjustment."
