How to fix this warning message?

What are Internal Macros?

Because you have a PLA with all loaded libraries, you will have the complete libraries, whether the parts have been used or not.

If you don't want the entire libraries, don't archive with the option to 'include all parts in loaded libraries'.

If you already have access to the same libraries, then don't get an archive file at all, just have them send you the PLN.

You can archive it later if you want to.

 

It seems you did not 'Extract Elements to Folder' when you opened the PLA.

It looks like you chose to 'Read Elements Directly From Archive' - that means you can not delete the duplicates.

 

Expand the duplicates and you will see the paths of the duplicate objects.

One of those can be deleted from the source libraries.

Follow one of the paths to find the object and delete it.

Reload the libraries and the duplicate will be gone.

You may be able to delete the entire duplicate library rather than object by object.

 

You seem to have two different versions of the Archicad 23 library loaded.

I think what I would do is open the PLA and extract the libraries to your hard drive.

The remove all of the libraries from the file in Library manager and re-load them.

Now you will see what objects are 'Missing' and it should say what library they are from.

Then load just that library and re-load until you have no more missing objects.

I extracted the libraries to the hard drive.
Unfortunately I can't figure out how to remove them.
The only thing I can see to remove the libraries is that button circled in red. However, by doing this, I remove the entire block of checked out libraries. All 1.6 GB of libraries, the vast majority of which are unused, are removed with that button.

 

As you continue to try, the number of warnings increases rather than decreases...
I believe it is necessary to act on the links below, eliminating them. But I do not know how I can do it. I think it's links to elements not used by the 3D model.

Yes the delete button is how you remove the libraries.

How many objects are missing (not from favourites or attributes) when you do that?

You should be able to see what library they are missing from.

 

It looks like you only have 312 instances of objects placed in the model, so delete that 'LIB' library.

It seems most of those objects may come from the default Archicad 23 library.

So all you need to do is load that library.

 

 

If you have Archicad 23 installed, then just install the Archicad 23 library from the Archicad program folder, and you never needed the archive if that is the case, just a PLN file would have done.

If you don't have Archicad 23 installed then yes you did need the PLA (but not with all loaded libraries).

You may now find that  Archicad 23 library in the LIB folder - just load that Archicad 23 library.

Or if you are using a newer version of Archicad, remove the LIB library, load your current version library (26 or 27 maybe) and also load the migration libraries to migrate those version 23 objects.

Thank you.
I can't solve it.
I managed to eliminate all duplicates.
However there are many references to missing libraries. If they add even more libraries, I create many duplicates again.
The fact is that the 3D model is already complete as it is. The 368 missing libraries seem useless, perhaps a legacy of old projects.

How can I eliminate these useless references to libraries that are not used in my model?

 

I tried using ArchiCAD 23 with another PC.
Now I can save .pla files! Finally.
However, the "Cannot find some Library Parts or Internal Macros" warning problem still exists.

To "clean" all references to useless libraries I should delete the references, not other libraries. In fact, I've already deleted the libraries. It's possible?

If you expand the missing library parts, you should see what is missing.

 

The Archicad 23 library you have loaded is not the full Archicad 23 library that is located in ... C:\Program Files\Graphisoft\ARCHICAD 23\ARCHICAD Library 23

 

Try loading just that library and see what is missing then.

The other libraries may be different language versions of the main 23 library - that is why they are creating duplicates.

Thank you very much.
Sorry for the delay, but I did a lot of testing.
I changed PC. Now I can save as .pla. So the biggest problem has been solved.

 

 

However I still get the error when I try to save.
I tried to load the ArchiCAD 23 libraries. The errors persist.
I tried both with the 80MB .pla file.
I get 372 errors with the "internal" libraries.
655 errors adding ArchiCAD 23 libraries.
372 errors with ArchiCAD 23 libraries alone. However, the 3D model loses many elements.

If I use the complete 1.4 GB .pla file that I had sent to me (with all the flags selected when saving) I get 3651 errors adding the ArchiCAD 23 libraries.

What can I do?
The .pla file was created using ArchiCAD 23 in a language other than mine...

I managed to delete all duplicate libraries.
I went into the folders and deleted them, because I didn't find any other way to do it within the ArchiCAD software.

Now I just have missing libraries.
Please, can you help me solve it?

 

Someone told me to try to act in "Attribute Manager", but I can't understand how to do it...

There is an option to extract libraries from the PLA isn't there? Given your collaborator is using a different language, you will be wanting to load the libraries from the archive and not your own local ones. If you extract it, you will be able to see if they themselves have duplicated libraries.

 

Edit: Oops, Barry already said this earlier...

You still need to load additional libraries.

Not the names are slightly different and it seems they contain different objects.

Whether you need the libraries already loaded or not, you will only know by removing them and seeing if they then show as missing as well.

There is a 3rd foreign language library that also needs to be loaded.

 

Loading these libraries may or may not solve the missing favourites and attributes.

Thanks.
The problem arises by adding the 800 MB libraries of Archicad.
If I work only with the .pla libraries and delete the duplicates, I get to this situation.

How can I, now, delete the references to the missing and useless libraries?
I think that the Favorites and Attributes are references to objects not used in my 3D model.
