How do you load Archicad 22 elevation markers? I only see AC14 available?

I've inherited (key word) this project and I'm trying to load my AC22 elevation markers, how do I do that?
All I see is the AC14 markers listed.

Adding the AC22 library does not work? Object Library.lcf more specifically I believe.

I added the Archicad 22 Library using the Library Manager and no AC22 Elevation Markers are available. I'm not sure what else to do?
I can try to remove and re-add the AC22 Library but...I fear I'll get the same results. I just can't seem to find/locate the AC22 Elevation Markers when I go to chose an elevation marker type. Only the AC14 marker shows up.

Need further help.
I've sent the PLA file to Graphisoft but I'm afraid that when the PLA saves....it misses out on some parts as the warning states. Not all information gets saved out. the PLA export has been doing this since who knows when.

Is the v14 elevation marker also loaded? If it has the same GUID as the v22 marker, could it be taking precedence?

When I open the ARCHICAD 22 Template.tpl in AC22, the only Elevation Marker available is the Built-In Elevation Marker, so that is the only option. The Section Tool has the Built-In Section Marker as well as the Section Part Marker_NCS 22. The two Built-In Markers are available even with no libraries loaded (they are part of the application).

THANKS David.
So....here's the deal. The "Built-in-Elevation Marker" of which is the only option, isn't linking itself nor updating itself when the elevation views are placed on a sheet.

IN plan, the elevation markers read as "DWG#" and "SHT#" where in they aren't registering the location of where the views are being placed on the sheets.

And no, the are set to autoupdate on the views so that's not the issue....they just DO NOT REGISTER where they are being placed.

They may not look correct in plan, but are they correct when you open the layout for the plan?

I would try relinking the markers: Elevation Settings > General > with Marker Reference to: The selected drawing then browse to the desired drawing. Short of opening the file in AC14 and trying to figure out where the problem started, I would just relink and get on with the project. I don't think "DWG#" and "SHT#" are Autotext.

They look fine in plan, the graphics of the elevation marker that is...but...they just wont link (update with elevation number and sheet number) when you move the viewmap assigned to that elevation onto a layout.
