Archicad 28 No Library

[Brad Norris]

Just downloaded 28.  Migrated and open a project from 26.  The entire model is without library parts and surfaces. I went to library manager and the 28 libraries are "missing". What did I do wrong? Seems there is no library 28?  The entire model is the dreaded purple and black checkerboard. and library parts are the big black blobs.

Operating system used: Windows 11 pro

As mentioned many times in other posts, there is no migration from older files to 28 with regards to library objects.

You can open an old file in 28, but load the old libraries and continue to work on it with those old libraries.

Do not load the 28 library packs as well.

You should only use the 28 library packs in a new job created from a template specifically made for 28.

If you are opening an older file in 28 you have to ignore all of the .libpack libraries and only load the Archicad 28 Library (which is actually the 27 Library) the MEP 28 Library and the Migration Libraries. That should load all of your library parts. Obviously if you have any custom Libraries you will need to load them too. This article may help you.
