BIM Sever libraries Not available help

Anonymous — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 05:00:35 GMT

We have a BIM sever setup, to which we have added a number of libraries. We can all see the BIM libraries when we go to add them to a solo project and they appear to get added successfully.

But when we go to access an object from the libraries in a job are not loaded.
When we check with the Library Manager the BIM server libraries that were selected are now shown as unavailable. see image 2

any help with this issue would be very much appreciated

We're having a similar problem of our server libraries not loading since we updated to AC14. Actually it's more of a problem if we load multiple libraries.

I've checked archiWiki - We've checked that IPv6 is disabled and that we all load using the same server name. As a check I've update all 4 of our workstations to the same version of Windows (Windows 7, 64bit)

As a workaround, we've had to put all the required library folders into one root folder and then just load the one root folder. It's not ideal and we are looking for a solution.

Haneef,

Your signature indicates that you are on build 3004. If that is so, please do upgrade to 3269 as a first step.

Sorry for that. My profile/signature was actually incorrect. We are all on build 3269 int, including the bimserver

I'm having this same problem, the libraries are not loading at all. My computer is setup as the BIM server, but the main "Office" libraries are on a different machine. Is this ok? I can direct the library manager to the library on the other machine and everything looks ok until we load the library, then it all goes away. Should I have the libraries on my machine? Also, I don't know if we're using a Bonjour network, how do I find this out??

Ok, I have the libraries on my machine, but they're not in a shared location like the teamwork projects are. Do I need to move them? We're in a deadline crunch on a house and the libraries are not loading at all....

The attached screenshot is what my BIM server manager library settings look like. Is there something wrong? Should I be loading .lcf files instead of the whole ArchiCAD Library 14 Folder?

Try copying all your required libraries, including the AC14 library into one folder. Then upload this library onto the bimserver. You should then only have this one library folder loaded. It's no ideal, but worked for us.

Just to clarify - by upload I mean load the library from a folder onto your bimserver. To access this library you need to then load it from the bimserver library list.

Should I load just the .lcf or the whole folder?

Unless there are not macros, lights, etc you should load the folder.

To resolve my problem, I've copied everything into a folder called [LIBRARY SAPSOPS]. This folder is then uploaded to the Bimserver. It's then the only library folder I load into my teamwork project.
Hope it works.

Got it sorted with the bug fix Greg suggested previously. I had my server named after my IP address and I changed it to my computer name. Just loaded the 13 and 14 libraries to my server.

Thanks,
