I have performed series of CTRL-F to locate the slabs where this is missing, but no joy. AC13 has obviously replaced all other properties, except this.
Short of going thru 158 slab objects in my project, is there an easy way to locate this and replace it with CSlab04 13?
Thanks.

If you go to the Menus page of the Work Environment Dialog, and list all command by theme, under the "16 Calculate" theme, you will find the command "Link Properties to Criteria" command. This brings up a Dialog where you can see pre-defined criteria based on which AC links property objects to elements. Maybe here under AC_13_INT (or USA or whatever) you will find the defined criteria and the linked properties. Check to see if you can remove the association there.

However, using the first one, I could not locate the property and when using the second one, all items in the list are greyed out.
Any idea what I need to set, to be able to make them active.
I did try applying different schemes but that did not help.

I don't know if this will work in your instance, but the Find & Select function has a Property Name criteria.

It seems once that script is called for it really wants it bad. So, you can't always eliminate them. So create one and don't assign it to anything. I think I have eliminated them before, but that was years ago.
BTW - Laszlo - that PO did not show up in the Link to Criteria. When I first started fussing with these (1997 or so) it seemed to get corrupt easy. I think it came from something back then that is not visible.

Thanks for the reply, laszlonagy. I tried both of your suggestions.

.
AC13 started embedding PO's when you save them.. at least as a default. You have to use the drop down menu to locate your designated PO folder to load for all plns. I pain for me.

If that is the case then you un-check the box in the elements settings
and it won't be linked to that property object any more.
If an element is linked by criteria then you can just un-check that box too.
This will remove the links to all property objects as you can have more than one with this method.
If you do either of the above remeber to also change the default settings for your element's tool and not just the selected elements.

This will affect all elements.

What I did was I copied the CSlab04 12.gsm file from the Archicad 12 location to the corresponding location for AC13. (C:\Program Files\Graphisoft\ArchiCAD 13\ArchiCAD Library 13\List Templates 13\Property Data 13\Properties Composite 13). This has fixed the popping up of the Duplicate/Missing items report.
My logic was since there is no object in my project that has the offending property object (I used all methods suggested by you guys here) so none of my objects would be affected by copying this script. It appears to be working, though for the life of me, I have yet to identify which object is calling this property.
Thanks again.

It was not with Property Object but with a component of a Curtain Wall System. No matter what I did I could not get rid of the error message. It said that one of my Curtain Walls is using a Sun Shade whereas none of them did. I checked it countless times, all, elements, even Favorites, everything imaginable.
So I concluded that somehow a reference was stuck into the ArchiCAD file that a certain library part is needed but it is not needed in actuality.
This may be a similar case.
That file was also a file migrated from AC12 into AC13.
So I guess this may be something that can happen during the migration of the project file.
I will report this to GS. I think they will be interested in finding out the causes.
