How can i detect and remove unused library objects from ArchiCAD? is there any smarter way?
I wish, There should be a facility from Graphisoft to purge unused objects.

Still no reply, but I'd also like highlight add the following excerpt from page 258 of the GDL Reference Guide:

Warning: If string variables or parameters are used as macro names, the called macro may not be included in the archive project, unless the
“Include All Parts of Loaded Libraries” option is checked.

So it would seem that unless we include all loaded objects, whether they are used or not, there's no guarantee that they will be included in the PLA file.

Another reason to use the Embedded method?

Cheers,

10 years latter and no improvements in the library manager dialogue. No control of unused objects except workarounds that are not bulletproof. Is this fixed or improved in the latest version AC 23?
