Materials | "Missing"

[Anonymous]

I spent about 2 hours last night making new materials for a project that incorporates a lot of creative glass materials. Today when I opened the same file... the objects that contain these new materials now show up as all black in the 3D window and the material listing says that the material is "missing." Where would I be able to find these materials?

Thanks

You mean that the texture images used in making the materials is not found.

Unless the images are in a folder LOADED INTO THE ARCHICAD LIBRARY, they will not be available.

So, you'll find these materials wherever you left them last, to use my mother's admonition about missing socks.

To make them accessible, place them in a folder and use the Library manager to add that folder to the folders used as the Library. They can be anywhere.
