Converting stairmaker objects from Ver 11 or older

[Anonymous]

I'm working on a drawing (someone else's) which started life in Ver 11 (or possibly before that) and has been saved under Ver 12.

All the stairs show up as blobs, but when I try to reload the gsm files from the project file, these are grayed-out (presumably because they were created under an older version).

Is there a way to fix this, or do I have to reconfigure the stairs under ver 12?

Keith,
There have been many discussions about Library management here if you do a search.

This is old, but still applicable.

Essentially you should see
- Archicad Library AC12 [current version] loaded from each computer
- Project library [on the server. Includes custom objects specific to this project only such as stairs. I keep them in their project folder]
-Office Library [on server, includes bought and custom made objects used on multiple projects]
- Libraries needed for this project but not typicall for other projects such as older AC library versions for projects started in earlier ACs. These can be downloaded
