ParaPicture

[Anonymous]

I have recently added Parapicture to my embedded library with brilliant results (I added 20 pictures). I went to look at the camera view I had previously setup this morning with a view to rendering and printing. To find to my horror the Parapicture is missing and all my pictures have disappeared. Having spent two days getting the pictures and lighting just right, I am gutted!

The weird thing is when I search it in the embedded library it is there!! but it's not available when I look in the object folder??

I am new to Archicad and can't remember where I find the GDL objects to add to my library to see if re-adding it solves the problem.

Can anyone explain why this has happened?

Thanks

Deb:

You use the Library Manager to add library parts to the project, you can read the Help files about its use. Another thing to check is that the layer that you placed the ParaPicture objects on is visible when you are in the 3D Window.

Thanks David for your reply

The layer is not hidden. The Parapicture is in the embedded library when I look in the library manager and I have updated library additions. But not available when I go to objects?

I don't understand what I am doing wrong.

Can you tell me how to find GDL's in Graphisoft site, I have only done it once and can't remember how to do it? I will try to download it again.

Thanks

You need to go to the Object Depository:

http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/object_depository.php?

There is a direct link to it from the ArchiCAD-Talk Forum main page as well.

This is what I was looking for.

Happy New Year to you.
