Library and object search

Hi everyone.

When i select object tool then try to search something for example "table" i have acces only to the archicad library i can't search the other library to download other objects. There is an icon you can see it in the picture inserted here, the moment that this icon appeared in my archicad library search i couldn't search for other objects.

If someone knows how to fix this problem please help me.

It will only search the libraries you have loaded.

You can tell it to also search favourites and the BIM Components portal.

What settings do you have for your search?

Are you saying if you now type "chair", it will no longer search for that?

If you click on the yellow triangle, does it give you any information?

Are you using teamwork at all?

When i type for example chair it only shows the chairs that are in my library it doesn't show me other chairs that u can download from BIM components portal even tho that is selected like u have it selected in the picture but it's not working. When i place the mouse in the yellow triangle it says: a serious error occured in ARCHICAD.

 

 

Is Archicad signed in with your Graphisoft ID - I am not sure if it has to be to access BIM Components.

 

Can you access the web site directly?

You can always download from there.
