Archicad 28 Migration

[PUP]

Hey everyone,

I've been working further on migrating to Archicad 28 and I have one question:

I read that libraries should be migrated automatically. So I downloaded an Archicad file from our Archicad 26 BIMcloud and opened it locally in Archicad 28. When I did that, I got a warning message – but after clicking "Continue," it seemed like all libraries were there.

Here’s what the Library Manager looks like in the 26 BIMcloud version:

And here’s the Library Manager in Archicad 28:
 

 

So... it looks like the library was still migrated, right?

When I check the warnings, the only one that comes up is about Tolerance.gsm, which I assume is normal.

I then uploaded the file to the BIMcloud 28, and the libraries show up correctly there too.

 

I just want to double-check – is it safe to say nothing is missing? I am surprised where did Archicad find the whole Archicad Embedded Bibliotek as that includes a lot of random printscreans people uploud from their personal computers.

I also tried saving the Archicad 26 file as a PLA and then opened it in Archicad 28 — but in that case, the whole library gets saved somewhere on the disk, and it doesn’t seem to migrate to 28 properly (which I assume is not ideal?). Many of the Archicad 26 objects stay as Archicad 26 versions, and I guess it would be better if they were converted into Archicad 28 objects instead?

 

So I’m a bit confused about the correct way to migrate a project from Archicad 26 to 28 and for sure keep the whole library

Thanks a lot for any help / opinion😊
