Library Part Maker only saves empty opening

Hello,

I needed to create additional window sizes for my project and like before, I tried using the LPM Add-On. It seems to save all the code but the object is not visible in 3D, only creates a hole in the wall, with sill and jambs. The 3D and 2D are correctly defined for how I'm displaying them in the model (Full detail), and the components pass the check. Attached screenshot shows the components that I'm trying to save.

 

What am I doing wrong? I tried restarting ArchiCAD but that doesn't fix it.

 

Operating system used: Mac Intel-based 15 Sequoia

Just a guess here.

Are the frame elements that you have model located at zero height above the project origin?

Barry, they are. (not every single component, but generally speaking, the window is at zero, where the reference plane should be)

I had saved multiple windows in this project using the LPM in v26, but I'm unable to do so any more. This window was just a slight modification of what I was able to save before.

Follow up: I released all before end of day (this is a teamworks project which should not matter because I was saving to Local library anyway), and made one last hopeless attempt to save the object with LPM after reserving it from the BIMcloud. This time the whole window was saved as it should...
