Linked Library is not being found

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi there,
I added a library (consisting of just one window) to my project. (SEE fig 1)
But When I am trying to apply it, the library is not showing in the linked library. (SEE fig 2)
I attached both the library and pln file. Can you please help me to solve the issue?

If it is just one object you will probably find it in the embedded library.

If you load a folder it will be a linked library.
If you load a single object it will be in the embedded library.

The object is defined as a window right? Not a sash or something else? When you reopen the library dialogue, is the added folder still there?



Ling.

EDIT: Duplicate library part. Loads fine for me.

I just downloaded your 'Library - Schematic' folder and using the 'ADD' button in the library manager it did indeed add the folder as a linked library with just the one window object in it.


What is the one warning message in your library manager.
That may offer some clues.

Actually I just checked and I have the same warning.


It seems you have managed to copy a window from the Archicad library rather than saving as a new window.
Simply copying and renaming does not change the internal GUID, so Archicad considers them the same object.
Sometimes these duplicate objects will only show one or the other.
I am not sure why I am seeing both and you are not.

But your window seems no different than the 'Vertical multi-sash window 23' - so just use that instead?
