How to fix script in an copied/pasted object? Constant warning message

I copied an object of one file and pasted into another, and when I tried to change some of the object settings, I get this warning message about a script in the object having a negative value. I have no idea how to fix this since I am not familiar with object´s script. Can someone help me out?

That is a MEP object and there is more than likely other associated macros that need to be copied with that object.

You can't copy & paste just the one object, you need to load the entire MEP library.

Thanks for the feedback. I just realized that the file where I copied the object also has the same warning message. I tried anyway to bring the MEP library available in my Archicad (Archicad MEP Library 27), but the warning message continued, and I got some other warnings in the Library Manager as well. How can I identify exactly what Library is missing?

Click the arrow next to the Missing Library Parts folder (and you might as well do the same to the Duplicated Library Parts folder) to see a list of the missing parts.

 

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
