Error Messages in AC

[Anonymous]

We are new to AC and are working on a project using teamwork. Everytime we open the file AC generates errors. The errors are as follows:

WARNING: While opening the file

1. Duplicated database name "AC_8_US" at line 1 of file MASTER_GDLAC_8_US.gdl.

We are also getting errors while switching from 2D to 3D. These errors are below:

Any help on what needs to be done to correct these is most welcome.

Thanks!

Things seem to be back on track now. I did remove those items from the library and then close out and reboot but, to tell you the truth, my Library Manager looked just like yours. Then, when I reopened ArchiCAD, I checked the default boxes and it opened without any report or warning. I think there was something amiss in the Recent Project Settings that I was able to avoid by returning to the default.

Many thanks all. I realize I have much to learn and look forward to the adventure. And when I figure out this picture posting thing I may be dangerous.

Thanks to all of you. We were able to resolve a lot of th eerrors. Now we are getting only two errors. The first is when we open the file and the secod when we switch to 3D view.

The error message we get is:

Polygon is degenerated.
at line 577 of file wa_trim_us 81.gsm.
Polygon is degenerated.
at line 577 of file wa_trim_us 81.gsm.

How do we ot about handling this?

Thanks!

i don't have the US library, so i can't delve into this object and see which parameter is being worked on at line 577 - maybe a US user could look into this and post?

as far as what's happening: this is a library part - most likely a window - that calls another library part (a 'macro') as a part of the script that generated it. the macro it's calling 'wa_trim_us 81.gsm' is responsible for generating the trims around that window. i would expect that somewhere in your project you have a couple of windows with their trims turned on, yet the parameter values you have entered for those trims are 'bad' (like a negative number or something).

if nobody using the US library replies to this, e-mail me your project zipped and in archive format (File>Save As... and choose 'ArchiCAD Archive Project' as the file format) to the address in my signature below and i'll have a look . . .

Hey Ben,

The file size is around 20mb. Can I still email it to you?

no! have you zipped it?

also: make sure your 'save as archive' options resemble the attached screenshot:

Thanks to all of you. We were able to solve the problem.
