Multiple Copies How to Fix

TLB
Participant

Hello,

 

I don’t know how this happen but somehow multiple copies of my plan was made and it was layered exactly over the original drawings. Meaning, I would need to delete copies of a wall eleven to fourteen times just to get to a single set item in the drawing. It has slowed my processing speed to a crawl. 

is there a way to select the copies without having to manually delete each copy of the items one by one?


2nd Question:

Also, I tried to copy and paste a copy of the floor plan to another level and only some of the items show up on the upper level. How can I get the walls to show up on the the new levels?

Answer to question 1.

If you have the Goodies (add-ons) installed, there is once called 'check duplicates'.

This will allow you to select and delete exact duplicates as you seem to have.

Thank you. Can you tell me where I can find this add on?

From the main Graphisoft website is the best place ...

Just click on add-ons and follow the links for Goodies.

But if you are using version 26, you can install the goodies, but you won't see them in the menus.

This is because you have started using 26 already without the goodies, and the menu place holders will have been deleted because they were not needed.

You will need to re-install 26 (repair option is fine) but do not start it.

Install the goodies.

Update with the latest hotfix.

Now you can start Archicad and you will have the goodies in the menus.

Good afternoon, 

 

Thank you for the info. I've tried to follow the "Repair" process but when I go to the install window, there is no option for "Repair". Could another way to get to the "repair" window/option exist?

That is update 5003 you are installing - that will only update and not repair.

You must re-install the original Archicad first (build 3000) - this will prompt you to repair.

Then install the goodies and then updated 5003.
