Archicad 29 MEP objects missing

Hi 

In my Archicad 29 my MEP objects are not visible / are missing. Should I install some extra library for that reason??

Instead I have just a black dot - usually a symbol when a library's missing

What should I do with it? Thank you

I am assuming this is a file from an old version?

If so you need to load the old MEP library from that version.

Thank you for your help.

The issue was that the file is from Archicad version 27, but I hadn’t drawn anything with the MEP Tools there, so I didn’t realize that I still needed to load the old library. 

If you are opening an old file in 28 or 29, just load the old libraries and keep working.

Don't load the new global libraries as well.

If you are starting a new file in 28 or 29, use a new template and load only the global library packs.

I have a similar problem.
I opened a project in version 29 that contains map elements. Now I can't edit or delete them. They appear but are inactive. How can I fix this?

Similar but different.

MEP is no longer included with 29 unless you have a collaboration subscription (if I am not mistaken).

I think you can see the MEP objects but can't use the MEP features.

I assume you do not have a cloud license or you are using Archicad Studio?
