Locked objects in ArchiCAD 21

[Thomas Allan Palmer]

I just opened a ArchiCAD 20 file into 21. Some library objects are locked! Can't unlock them or delete them!

If the Layer is not locked then that means that the object is individually locked (Edit Menu -> Locking) which usually happens when MEP modeler is not loaded.

Thanks Eduardo. I didn't realize before that you could lock individual items.

Sometimes bathroom objects get locked like that without me locking them. Any idea why that happens?

Probably you have accidentally changed to a View that has a Layer Combo with your bathroom objects locked.

I am not 100% sure but could it be because they are actually MEP 'equipment' objects rather than just plain objects?
If they were placed by someone as MEP objects and you don't have a MEP license, I think this might happen.

In 24 that all changes as MEP license is included.
In previous versions you have to purchase a license.
