"Missing textures might come from an unused rendering engine's surface parameters. Use the command
So, I can't find that command anywhere - I've searched for the phrase "Check Surfaces" in the AC18 Reference guide (no mention), this forum (no mention), and Google (no Archicad-relevant mention), to no avail.
Did the Check Surfaces tool get the flick when Building Materials arrived? But if so, what's the latest tool/advice for cleaning up these missing parameters?
Thanks for any guidance, folks.

You may need to add the command to your work environment.

Done! Thanks Erich. Never would have worked that out by myself.

The tool is not in option but in option->elements attributes, long way down the list.

Earlier this year I submitted a bug report about this as the warning in the Dialog gives the incorrect path.
And to put more information into the Help Center about this undocumented feature. AFAIK it is included to address legacy textures from the old Lightworks rendering settings.
Cheers,

...and the information box that pops up when you run the tool seems designed to confuse and discourage continuing - it made me wonder, "just what potentially devastating action am I agreeing to here? Perhaps I'd better cancel."
But then I thought, "No, this is Archicad. That's how all their warning messages sound."

It's probably worth noting that, in my quest to remove all "missing objects from attributes" clean-up process, this tool did remove seven of the 18 textures that were flagged in the Library Loading Report window - so that did save me a bit of time, I guess.
