Duplicates From G.S. Cloud objects

Anonymous
Not applicable
Seems like objects from the new G.S. cloud search within A.C. brings with it
lots (sometimes over a hundred) duplicates.
What's up with that?
Attached image shows I had no duplicates before I downloaded from the G.S. cloud with A.C..
See next post/image to see all the duplicates I get from downloading just one object.

Then you should load the "GS Corner Window Functions.gsm" file from the folder on your hard drive where you saved this folder from the Embedded Library.
There may be other similar error messages, you will need to load those files too.

and maybe discover, in the future, changing the parameters, that other macro elements are needed too, say different blinds or sills...
I agree, the "macro-problem" needs a massive rethinking, specially now with the Bimcomponents site.

So it seems to me that this Ribbon Window is a special case for the above mentioned reasons: it is part of the INT Library but not the USA library and this causes the many duplicates.
With most of the objects on the BImcomponents portal this is not the case.
However, GS is aware of this issue and is looking into it to see what could be done about it in the future.
