Warning! Cannot find some Library Parts or Internal Macros.

[Gisele]

How to fix this warning message?

What are Internal Macros?

[Barry Kelly]

The missing favourites means you have favourites saved that are looking for a library part that you do not have loaded.

they will show in the favourites dialogue with a question mark like this ...

You can delete them or edit them and fix them up.

You have 2 - one is an object and one is a lamp.

The missing from attributes means that some of your surface materials are looking for texture image files that are not in your loaded libraries.

So load a library that has all of you texture files or edit the surfaces to use a different texture.

Or if you don't need those attributes, you can delete them.

Thanks.
My problem is that I can't find that window for Favorites and Attributes.
If I go to Options -> Attribute Manger I can't find the window you sent me...

I also don't know how to delete them.
Can I just select them and press DEL?
Or right click and there's the delete function?

[Barry Kelly]

The favourites dialogue is WINDOWS menu > Palettes > Favourites.

You can select and delete them.

If you look at the surface materials in the 'Surfaces' settings, you will see some have no texture image.

In the Attribute Manager you could 'Purge' all unused surfaces - but you may delete some you don't need.

Missing textures will show as a red icon ...

These are the ones you can delete, or fix (find the texture file and add it to a loaded library), or just not worry about them.

Finally! Thank you so much.
I removed all the warnings!

However, when I try to save as .pla, I still get the warning...

It might be because you are linking to a library in another PLA file?

If you have the libraries that those objects are from, then there is no need to save as a PLA at all.

Just load the proper libraries.

Saving as a PLA just creates an extra step for you and you really only need to do it if you don't intend to work on that file any more, at least in the short term.
