My libraries are not loading after an upgrade of AC 29.1.0. URGENT, have a presentation next week

[iggiv]

Team,

I’m having a bit of trouble with the work moment because I don’t have time to give my presentation. I’ve upgraded to version 29.1.0, but my libraries are missing. I thought I’d uploaded everything, but I still have over 2,100 missing libraries. Is there a way to see which libraries are missing?

I’m in panic mode!

I was so close to a meltdown! But I think I’ve cracked it. I opened the Graphicsoft full “Archicad Library Package” from the folder. Then, I deleted the old version and brought in all the package contents from the folder. That did the trick! Now, I just need to tweak a few missing markers. There are 18 missing out of the 408 markers used in the plan. I’m not sure how to fix this, but at least I can keep working.

I almost had a heart attack!!!

Changing the Zoning Stamp was easy! I just needed to go into the Attribute Manager and change the default setting. But, it’s a bit different with the D&W stamps. I’ve do not have the D&W marker I had before. Does anyone know where they could be store?

Thank you for your help. I am call now but still a lot to do!!!

I think this is the issue: your library packages are loaded from their source folder; they need to be loaded separately. 
Archicad does not recognize libpacks that are linked from their source folder... it's a weird "design feature".
try removing this folder, and adding all contents FROM that folder directly:

also, if you were using anything from an old .lcf library, you may need to extract some of the things still missing and add them in individually. I have fully extracted markers and detail library (2d object) parts that were either not in the .libpacks, or not able to connect to the new part/location within the libpacks.

Thank you so much, Patrick! Those seams were definitely part of the problem, and it was great to know how I could keep working. I was really worried about my presentation next week.

Thanks again for your help!

Thanks again for your help! I’m trying to figure out the markers, but I’m busy right now. I’ll get to it after next week. I will play with this after the presentation.
