Goodies Archicad 28 - Accessories Library Package Error

Archicad 28.0.0 (3001) INT arm64

Goodies 28 INT 

 

**Accessories Library Issue**

Graphisoft's Accessories library packages are not being recognized in Archicad 28 (refer to screenshot AC28_LibraryManager_Accessories), resulting in a prompt indicating that the requested accessories are not available in the loaded libraries when attempting to access ceiling, wall, or floor accessories, (refer to screenshot AC28_Accessories_NotWorking).

 

Could someone please clarify what I am missing?

 

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon Sequoia 15.1

You have loaded the 'Accessories' folder.

It doesn't work that way now.

You have to browse for the actual '.libpack' file and load that.

I should have stuck with my gut and gone one step further. Thanks Barry. 

Hello Barry, Thank you for this!!

I loaded the '.libpack' but I am still missing the Additional Package Files within the Archicad Library.Libpack

any ideas why and how to solve this?

The additional package files are a part of every library pack.

You don't need to worry about those.

That is the magic part for language and template mapping - no objects in there.

 

In you first image you have no warnings.

In the second image you have 2 warnings but I don't know what they are.

Expand the list to see what it says.

Some of the new library packs have dependencies on other library pack.

You have to load those as well.

In your case the accessories need the essential library pack.

 

You have loaded a folder called Archicad Library 28.

This is actually the old 27 library.

No need to load that unless you file was from 27.

Likewise you don't need the migration libraries unless you file originated from a version before 27.

In a new 28 file, you now need to load the library packs.

Do not load the Library Pack folder - it doesn't work that way for them.

You must go into that folder and load each library pack that you want.
