Missing subtype - all custom components on the bimcloud!

Patrick M · 18 hours ago

this may just be a PSA, or maybe something that needs to be addressed, but it seems that all our custom components (door leaf, window sash, cabinet panels, door handles, cabinet knobs, etc.) have all lost their sub-types in our library... so I guess I know what I'm doing this weekend. I assume this is tied to the move to .libpacks? but these are all in a bimcloud library, not in any container... so I don't see how this could be related.

Were these created prior to Libpacks? If so the issue is the monolithic to libpack divide. You will need to resave all of them to AC28/29. I assume the GDL object type heirachy is based on something within the core library and though the front end presents the same, they changed the backend and did not bother with migration...
