i just want to how to fix it properly

thank you

Any time you see a checkerboard pattern like that it means that the surface texture associated with that element is missing. Click on the slab and examine the settings.

To enhance what Karl has said, the texture image file needs to be in your loaded libraries.

Check the surface settings to see what it should be or you should see a warning in the Library Manager.

Thanks for your answers. But i don't relly know in wich part of the surface setting i can fix it. However when i check the libraries setting this is what i see

So please i would like to know how to have the same vizualisation that is in others versions

You seem to have a mixture of languages in your libraries.

You have 'Archicad Library 25' and the 'Archicad Migration Libraries' - I assume these are INT language.

You then have 'Bibliotheque Archicad 19' which is a different language and has not been loaded properly (hence it is 'missing').

My guess is that the missing surface texture images are in that library.

Whatever language your Bibliotheque library is from, you should probably be loading the Bibliotheque Library 25 and the corresponding migration libraries, then you will not need to load Bibliotheque Library 19 at all.

excuse me but i didn't really understand what to do in your last paragraph.

My concern is to know how to handle effectivly such a situation.

Sometimes this is not due to using a element of old version of archicad, it happens even if i start a projet with recent version of archicad

You need to find and load 'Bibliotheque Archicad 19'.

It is not ideal to mix libraries from various languages as it can create problems with duplicates of objects and macros.

Unless you are happy to to that.

That is what I was suggesting in my last paragraph, load only the libraries from one language.

But if you do that now and you have used any objects from the INT library, they will become missing instead.

i'm still dealing with the same issue, but this time without using different libraries objects. These are some object that i downloaded and add to my project that i'm concepting with archicad23. So that's how it displays sometimes, so pls help me to know how to properly handle this issue

Read,

Français

La Bibliothèque ArchiCAD 19 qui a été initialement utilisée avec le projet est manquante (c'est une bibliothèque française)

Il faut que tu demandes à la personne qui t'a passé le fichier du projet de te transférer la bibliothèque manquante.

Sachant que tu utilises ArchiCAD 25, tu auras de nombreuses textures manquantes venant de ArchiCAD 19.

Pour ton cas, le plus simple est de changer les textures des objets qui ont le motif en damier

Dans l'image jointe, tu verras un exemple de ce que je veux dire par texture manquante dans ton projet

English.

You're missing the ArchiCAD 19 library which was used initially in the project file. It's the french version of the library by the way.

You should ask the owner of the file to send you their library or make a .pla version of the project.

Since you're using ArchiCAD 25, the easiest would be to change the texture of checkerboard pattern objects so that they're using surfaces in the ArchiCAD 25 library

In the picture below is an exemple of texture linked to a surface. This is what is missing in your project

Hello

I really appreciate you using all means to help me. But what I was trying to clarify is that the project I sent images for is started and still being designed by Archicad 23. The second thing is that those objects I sent screenshots for are downloaded from "Archibase". So when I put them in my project, it shows up as you can see, even when I try to change the texture.

Thanks again for your help and I hope you can help me more.

Ps: I am not as good at Archicad as you guys are, so please, if there are any basic things I need to know or steps I can follow, let me know. Thanks

The black/purple chequer board pattern means that the texture image file is missing from your loaded libraries.

If you look in the Library Manager you will see a list in warnings section telling you the names of the missing texture files.

You need to load these in a linked library or add them to the embedded library.

Unfortunately I can not tell you where you can find them

They should be part of the download from Archibase I assume.

Still being designed in 23? Doesn't that mean you need to backsave to 24, open that, then backsave again to 23? Maybe go get the AC23 library and skip the migration as the names of texture files sometimes changes...

you need to check your library manager make sure there are no missing items.
