Archicad 26 Fails to generate views when Publishing to BIMx

I've recently switched to Archicad 26 (from 25) was waiting for the kinks to sort out. However, when saving my first BIMx model, I get the following errors (see attached image below)

The old-fashioned, manual way.

To be safe, do this to a copy of the file.

 

First I deleted all the objects on a story. Then try to publish, note the results, undo the deletion, then perform that action on the other stories. Once I identified the story with the offending object, I would then delete the objects from a quadrant of the plan. Try to publish and note the results. Undo, then perform that action on the other quadrants. Once identified, I'd narrow down the deletion methods until the object presented itself with successful output after deletion.

Took me over an hour.

Rex hello, thank you for your feedback.👍🏼

I had been working on a similarly manual process by deleting layers at a time... couldnt find the offending item. 

Noticing that my not so big (190mb) file was really lagging I converted a couple of Groin Vault morphs (I had inported and converted from Sketchup, which i assumed were heavy objects) into library parts and, voila, BMIX generates. Oddly when I deleted the contents of the layer they were on it didnt work? 🤔
