Hi,

I have an isue with saving a slab as a door leaf

As you can see on the picture there's no option for me to save it as a door leaf. I don't know what to do.

Operating system used: Windows

What libraries do you have loaded.

There are macros in the default library that control these object types.

Long shot: Could the work environment have been modified?.

Hi @tsarina

It is kind of weird it is not appearing as an option but anyway, try to select those slabs you modeled and click Save Selection as...> Object...

Then Open Object...> Select Subtype> Model Element> Custom Component Template> Custom Door Leaf

and Save.

Now you can choose that custom door leaf you have just created.

Regards.

Thank you very much, I will definitelly do that.

Edit:
Tried that, idk what is wrong but I can't use it, it's not in my options also (I can't choose the custom door leaf because it's not there)

I think that's my issue. I have the embeded library only - I had a situation with archicad 27 when I had to reload the library because my objects were not showing but I did that with 28 but the settings are still missing. What should I check?

I definitelly didn't change anything in the work enviromet - I'm not yet so acquainted in using archicad to try that. But thank you

Does it happen if you try to save while selecting the objects on plan view? 3D views doesn´t allow to save objects as custom parts.

Yes, it's still the same when I try to save it on plan view.

Hi @tsarina

Try this:

Make available No CC Subtypes in the Work Environment as a command in the Save Selection menu to show the registered Custom Component subtypes.

Thank you for the answer but sadly the work environment was fine, so it must be something else

Have you loaded all of the 28 global library packs individually (do not load the folder they belong to)?

Or ar you loading the 28 monolith library (which is just the 27 library)?

Could you maybe show an image of your Library Manager?

If you have the default libraries loaded and you are using a default Work Environment, then you should have the option to save ad a door leaf.

Maybe open the default template (FILE > NEW) and see if it works there.

Barry.

I only have this library downloaded, but when I opened a new (default) template everything works. So thank you! But I still want to work out what is wrong with this project file.

Easy.

You need to load the default libraries.

I had absolutely no idea that macros in the loaded library controlled what object types you could save. Thanks, Barry!
