Hi,

I keep on having this window popping up everytime I go to the 3D-window

Doe anyone know what the problem could be ?

Thanks

Your 'Door Frame' and 'Casement Rectangular' objects are trying to use a fill that you do not have loaded in you attributes.

Select one of the objects and open the script, look at the 3D script and find the line number in question (press CTRL-L and type in the number to go to it).

You should see there what fill it is asking for.

You can use the Attribute Manager to get this fill from another project or template if you know which one it is in.

Maybe post a screen shot of the offending line in the script and I can explain it further if you don't follow.

Martijn:

These look like macros, which are used by library parts, probably doors and windows. See this thread for information about missing fills in library parts: Library Parts Not Working Properly. You will need to go through the model to find the problematic library parts (you can use the Marquee Tool to show parts of the model in the 3D Window), then look at their parameters to find and change the "Missing" fill.

It seems you have deleted a fill from your file that your objects are trying to use.
You need to open the script for one of these objects and go to the line number mentioned in the report to find the name of the fill required.

Or you can reset the fills used in your objects if they have the parameters to allow you to do that.
But you will need to do that for each object listed in your report.

It will be easier to find the name of the missing fill and then use the Attribute Manager to append that fill from another file that has it.
