Curtain Wall Favorite Import

Brandon-W_DWa

I have created a Curtain Wall favorite in an AC25 project with custom profiles, and I would like this favorite to be available to others in the office, some of whom are on AC27. I've tried a couple different times, and in the receiving file, I always get a curtain wall favorite with "MISSING" profiles for the perimeter, transom, and mullion profiles. This most recent time, I imported the complex profiles first, hoping that by those profiles already existing in the receiving file before I import the favorite, they would make it in the curtain wall favorite, but no luck.

 

I'd like the import process to be as seamless as possible for staff across the office; am I going about this wrong?

How are you importing the custom profiles?

Use the Attribute Manager but make sure you overwrite 'by index number'.

Attributes are referred to by their index number and it must be the same in all files.

The name is only what we see, not what Archicad uses.
