Challenges with library management

[Polar Bear]

Dear Archicad lovers, Why on earth is library management so complicated.  I just came from a year of handling a super large project in Revit. Today back in Archicad, and god!!! it is incomprehensible! unless you are native to archicad since ages!  and about to drop it all.  Tired of this complicatedness! anyone has tricks to understand ?

The only way to remove the warning is to fix the problem by loading the correct libraries,so the objects will no longer report as missing.

Or find all of the missing objects throughout your model, select and delete them, so they no longer report as missing.

The missing from favourites can be solved by deleting all of the favourites.

The missing from attributes must be solved by fixing the problem attribute, but these are a little harder to track down.

It could be a missing fill or surface texture from a composite or some other missing attribute.

You really must expand the warning and track down the problem.

If you just want a clean new file, then I would start from a default template.

If you must open an old existing file, be sure to delete the entire model, delete the libraries you do not want to use (Library Manager) and delete or purge unwanted attributes.

As indicated in Barry's reply, it is not advised to migrate pre-AC28 files to AC28 and beyond due to the incompatibility of the libraries and the required work to get them working cleanly. It is recommended to create a new template from scratch for AC29+.
