Tracking Down missing building materials

Is there a quick and efficient way to find which beam/object has the missing material rather than trolling through 100's of my objects?

The bit of the code "SS-116" is the Element ID of the placed object.

use find and select,

Element ID

copy the id name out of the error

that will give you the placed object, and the object type

I am up to page 4,152 of Archicad 27 Reference Guide, (Bluebeam Connection), but i got to read it all 😞
don't tell 'em i cheated by reading the last page first to see how it ends 🙂

What I do is select everything Right of the " | " and left of the " ) "...In your case 276A..............194 , copy this entire string of unique ID

Then under the find & select palette click the drop down arrow next to add & Select "IFC Properties", in the new flyout select the TAG option under Attributes.

 

Paste your copied ID in there and it should find the desired item to correct the issue(s).

I have seen this error message with Stairs, the "SS" is the default ID for Stair Stringers. Check the Building Materials under Stringer Component Settings (it is possible that the macro "beamProfile_m.gsm" is used for other parts). Sometimes it appears when an unused parameter, like "End Plates", has a "Missing" Building Material.

 

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
