Accessories not found after installation in AC26

I installed AC26, Goodies 26 and the update 3010 USA Full. I see the Accessories Library 26 and the Accessories box checked in the "Available Add-Ons", but I can not find in the Design Extras menu, the Accessories ( Roof Accessories, Slab Accessories, Wall Accessories).  Any comments?

The solution is not to have Goodies as a separate download. Just include it in AC.

 

Why is Goodies still a thing???

Currently facing the same challenge as above. I cannot see the Accessories in the Customize Menus option. Yet it shows that it is loaded into ArchiCAD.

What you need to do (unfortunately) is re-install Archicad.

The 'repair' option is fine - you do not need to un-install it first.

DO NOT start Archicad.

Install the Goodies.

Install the latest update.

Now start Archicad and all should be good.

You need to download and add the Accessories 25 library in to your project that's why it's saying the object is not available in the loaded Libraries.

You need to check in your Add On Manager to see which add-on is throwing up the error.

 One of the entries will likely be red.

This worked. The .lcf file had not been loaded. It is now working just fine. Thank you very much.
