Classification Manager : import/export error

Ernest Atanasiu

Hello there,

Does anyone know why the import of a Classification from another file does not work?
I have imported UniFormat classification from the GS website and noted that Level 5 is note defined. I created the level 5 branches and then exported the classification for use in another project. The new branches do not appear no matter which import/export settings I choose.
If I use a lower Level, it works. Is it a limitation of the xml format?

thank you

Dear Ernest Atanasiu,

I have tried the same myself, and I could import/export even 6-7 levels without an issue.
I would like to look into it, to see if it is because of a bug. Could you contact me in a Private Message, and send me...
- the XML file you started off from, the XML file you exported (and is faulty), and the PLN file in which you worked.
- the version of your OS and your ARCHICAD (I can see it in your signature, just to make sure it is not a different machine).
- pictures (maybe a video) of how you export the correct info, and how it is missing after import.

Cheers,

Fortunately I couldn't replicate the error. It happened with a migrated v20 file in AC21 4022. Since the 5021 update I am now able to import the classification as expected.
