I have problem with bim components.
It reports me many errors I can't see in Archicad also with turned on hide menu with option on "check library part..."
One of the error reported is:

C:\Resources\directory\037dea269b8c453cb413219eaa93db00.Graphisoft.ObjectPortal.WopeRole.WC\XML5814\3DMD Railing Vertical Bar V1.01 R16\3DMD Railing Vertical Bar Panel.xml(31) : warning: (in Script_3D) : Uninitialized variable
C:\Resources\directory\037dea269b8c453cb413219eaa93db00.Graphisoft.ObjectPortal.WopeRole.WC\XML5814\3DMD Railing Vertical Bar V1.01 R16\3DMD Railing Vertical Bar.xml(39) : warning: (in Script_1D) : problem in macro call

I used also LP_XML COnverter but it doesn't report me any error.

I tried with:
LP_XMLConverter convchecklibrary [options] source dest [additionalLib ...]
With the option -check 9
cd /Applications/GRAPHISOFT/ArchiCAD\ 18/ArchiCAD\ 18.app/Contents/MacOS/LP_XMLConverter.app/Contents/MacOS/
./LP_XMLConverter convchecklibrary -check 9 /Users/msacco/Desktop/LibraryXML/ /Users/msacco/Desktop/LibraryGDLconv/

But the monitor on MAC report me:
error: Error at command line argument 2; Unsupported argument "-check" for "convchecklibrary" command.
Please help me

I tried your code with -check 9 on Mac, putting it into the Terminal.
It worked well and it put out a long set of error messages for a single object.

The 1st try did not work, because a file IDEntryList.dbe was missing, which I found on the hard drive (LibDevToolkit) and copied it into the XML folder; after that it worked.
In the converter documentation is written what this file is for.
