Missing standard library parts - opening AC10 in AC12

[Ernest Atanasiu]

I downloaded the AC12 demo and tried to open (at home) a project from work, where we have only AC10.
There are only standard library parts and none of them are recognized by AC12.
I have missing doors, windows, objects, zone stamps, surface textures.

What should I do?

You could try loading the AC10 library into 12 if you have it on your machine (using library manager). Bear in mind that they may not fully work with the new 'partial structure display' option.

I'm predicting your next question will be something along the lines of - "I haven't got AC10 on my home machine, where do I get the library from?"

So I will PM you the link after I post this, just in case!

thank you.
I knew where the library is located.

I thought the parts would be recognized automatically.

I guess nobody thought about 'version skippers'...

If I try to open in AC11, will I have the same problems? I'm thinking AC10 -> AC11 -> AC12

...but wait, I can't save in AC11 demo, crap....

Load the older version subset libraries. Check the archicadwiki site for instructions.

thank you. i will do that, for AC11.
but I wanted to discover AC12....

Can someone post a link for the AC 10 Subset Library?

Documentation with my AC12 disc says I can get this from the Goodies page, but it isn't there. I guess this subset shipped with AC11, but I skipped a version.

Thanks,
JB

Edit: Solved my own problem... just figured out how to get to the AC11 goodies page.
