"A serious error occured during download"

[Anonymous]

When I search for a library part and download and embed it, I very often get the
"A serious error occured during download" error.

Am I doing something wrong? What's the deal with this error?

Hi MaxamAC. Are you referring to the built-in search for objects that downloads from BIMcomponents? Could a firewall be blocking access?

Knowing your OS and ARCHICAD version helps us give better answers so you might like to add that info to your signature.

Yes, object downloads from Bim Components. It doesn't seem to happen all the time... maybe just on some objects?

Archicad 19 on Max OS Yosemite 10.10.5

I'm connected to the net tru a typical home cable connection, no corporate network or such thing.

Thanks!

Can't think of what it could be apart from a file corruption during download. If you try the same object again does it work?

Similar occures at 3.15 in this tutorial-Video :

Apparently, this is a known issue that will be fixed soon.

Hi, ARCHICAD used to send a "Serious Error" message when downloading from BIMcomponents.com, however this bug has already been fixed and is in the 4011 update. Tx, k

Hi MaxamAC,

What version of ARCHICAD are you running? ARCHICAD 19? Have you tried updating to Hotfix 4011? Try download Hotfix 4011 from, http://www.graphisoft.com/downloads/archicad/updates/

You could visit, https://bimcomponants.com, locate your library parts and download them from here as an alternative.

I recently experience this error a lot... is it back or is this update not part of AC 20?
