How to fix this warning message?

What are Internal Macros?

Your library manager does not report any missing objects? Internal macros would be Called objects, so objects used by other objects.

They are not actually missing objects in your project.

They are Favourites set to use missing objects.

You need to edit those Favourites so they look for the correct objects in your loaded libraries.

Or load the library that those objects are saved in.

 

I am not sure if it will give you more information about which library they are from.

Looking at the names it is obviously a 26 library, but it could be INT or USA or another language version.

Missing favourites should not be causing your archive error message...

My library has Missing Library Parts. 

Not sure how to recover them.

Good morning.

Excuse me, how did you solve it? 

I have the same problem and I can't solve it.

Can you give me some directions please?

I have simply ignored the message and "saved anyway." I do not have an answer. All I can say is that Library Migration is a problem that ArchiCAD did NOT fix yet. 
Our BIM manager advised us to 1) use the same ArchiCAD version (either USA or INT): we are using the USA version.

2) upload the libraries directly from the server instead of the C: drive.

1) Correct, the objects in different language versions may be totally different - even if they have the same name.

 

2) This shouldn't matter if you are loading default Archicad libraries and they are the only objects that have been used.

 

 

In this case for the missing favourites, when you go to use the object favourites you will probably see them with a question mark for the icon.

If you edit that favourite it will be looking for an object that is not in your loaded libraries.

You can edit it and change it for an object that is in the loaded libraries, you can load the library that is required, or you can delete the favourite.

Sorry, but I can't solve it.
The .pla file was passed to me.
I was told that the .pla file contains within it all the libraries necessary for the model to function.
Why are you telling me there are no libraries? I tried deleting them, losing parts of the model. It doesn't allow me to save a .pla file either.

 

When I open the file, what choice should I make for libraries?
I've tried all three with no resolution.


Thank you

You are trying to read from an archive? That is different from the OP... If the person who supplied the .PLA to you says they included all librariesd when archiving, and when you read elements directly from the archive you are still getting things modelled elements missing, then you will need to talk to that person. Your library manager should have the .PLA listed there.
