Hi All. I have a template that I created in V27. I used it in V28, but with the V27 library, I did not update the library. I am trying to update my template for V29 and convert all of my objects and favorites to the library packs and items used in V29 for going forward. I am having several issues:
Favorites: I downloaded the Favorites Converter Tool. I saved out my favorites from my template after opening the template in V29. After opening the converter tool I have selected the correct folders for the file to convert and the new file location. The information on the tool and the conversion log says' Build SUCCEEDED!'. When I look in the new folder that it created (Converted Favorites) there are two files: Conversion_log.txt & parameter_changes.csv Neither one has any detailed information in them. From my favorites pallet I select import / Folder (containing XML files) then selected the new folder that was created. Once I do that nothing else happens. I have watched the instructional video. At this point in the video it typically brings up a new window which shows all of the favorites that are being imported. I have done it several times and with various favorites, the same thing happens every time. Anyone have an idea of how to resolve this? Do I need to do it in V28 first before V29?
Library Parts: I have been able to find new parts for everything except for the detailer's library. A past post for V28 indicated that there is a legacy folder in V28 for the detailer's library. However, this is not included in V29. I have found the Graphisoft Archicad 29 Online Template for download. There are two options, one that includes the detailer's library (#2) embedded in the file. The other (#1) doesn't have this library. However, I am not able to download #1. I receive an error every time I try to download it. I have downloaded #2. However, from what I read on the website it indicates that we should not rely on the embedded library and that it won't be included in the future. So I am back to wondering how to find these objects that I use without the embedded library? Mostly I use 2D objects like blocking, steel beams, etc. that I add over my cut sections to further detail them.
I would like to make sure that I fix the template the correct way so that I don't have issues in the future when converting to new versions. I have researched on line but cannot find how to resolve these two items. Help is much appreciated!
