Archicad 28 - Missing Accessory Elements in Global Library Packages

[RobsonWarrenArch]

Hi,

I am in the process of updating our template file to Archicad 28 and like most Archicad users experienced grief with the new Global Library. One thing I could not locate into the new Library Packages are the Accessory Elements like gutters, downspouts, etc. Tried coping them into 28 without success. I used to use them a lot and unfortunatelly could not find an alternative so far...

Operating system used: Windows

Hi @RobsonWarrenArch 

Check if you get RoofConstruction.libpack It is loaded automatically with the default template for AC28 INT.

Go ahead and verify the libpack is loaded like Ricardo is suggesting.

For me, when I load the default USA version of the AC28 USA Template.tpl file, all my necessary library packs are loaded.  In it you will find that the objects you are looking for are now located in the Object Library/22 Plumbing/22 10 00 Plumbing, Piping and Pumps/Gutters

Like Ricardo is also suggesting, if you can't find something, use the search feature at the top of the menu, type in what you're looking for and it should come up.  However, like you're worried about not finding the gutters, not all library parts got transferred over to AC28, so using the search feature is a good tool to have.  Just keep in mind that the tools are not all named the same way and a lot of them have been placed in different locations then they were before.

Happy hunting!

I think you will find the accessories library pack is in a different location to the global libraries when you install the goodies add-ons.

Make sure you load this accessories library pack as well (do not load the folder it is in, you must load the actual library pack).

Hi Barry,

Thank you very much! I think that was it ! It is very strange that they miss to add the Accessory Elements to the Library Pack folder. I missed because we have a template file that I open in every new version of ArchiCAD and  I had to manually link all the libraries from the Library Package folder, but did not look outside of it. The Global Library is such a mess !
