Library Object not visible in 3D view in different Project

Hello everyone

I'm using ArchiCAD 20 Testversion and I am building a part out of a wall and my own GDL cylinder for pipes.
However, when i save the object into a folder so that it is not only in the embedded library, then it is not visible in the 3D view when i try to open the part in a different archicad project...
BUT in the 2D floorplan it is visible...

What do I do wrong? Is it because of the Testversion?

Thank you for your Help

Have You loaded Your folder as an external library?
Otherwise the files You saved there will not be visible in the library.

Matthias:

If the object is visible in 2d, but not 3D, it could be due to Layer assignment or Renovation Status assignment. Check that these are the same in the 2D and 3D windows.

Hello Piotr

Thank you for your quick reply. I have saved my object in an external folder. That is what you meant, am I right?
I am able to view and place the object in the 2D floorplan, but then i cant see it in the 3D view...

Kind Regards

Dear David

Thank you for your quick reply. I did some research on the topics you mention. But I am only opening this single object in a new project....
I have nothing else in it and still i cant see it in 3D view...
I have the document filtered for ALL renovation statuses and I view everything in every layer...

Do you have any further ideas or where I could try to find something?

thank you for your effort

Thank you all. I solved the problem now.
I had to include and update the older GDL parts of my library.
Now everything is working.

thank you
