Objects Not Recognizing Libraries Are Loaded

[Anonymous]

I am attaching a screenshot that shows how I have my 18 library and migration libraries loaded yet the manager is saying that there are doors and windows missing from these libraries. What is going on?

My guess is that it is a permissions issue on the ArchiCAD Library 18 folder or the enclosing directory. Given that your ArchiCAD Library 18 is in the default location (/Applications/GRAPHISOFT/ArchiCAD 18/ArchiCAD Library 18), try the following:

a. Quit ArchiCAD.
b. Go to /Applications/ folder and highlight GRAPHISOFT folder
c. Press CMD + I or right-click and choose Get Info
d. In the window that appears, under Sharing & Permissions set all listed names to Read & Write
e. Unlock the padlock icon at the bottom of the dialog
f. Click the Settings button (looks like a gear or a cog)
g. Choose Apply to enclosed items and then confirm.
h. Re-open ArchiCAD and see if the problem remains.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for the response, I did exactly as your steps dictated but the program is still not pulling the doors and windows from the loaded libraries.

What other info can I provide you to resolve this issue? We just got new computers: iMac 10.10.1, 3.5GHz i7, 32gb DDR3, Geforce 780M.

I had been working on this project for the last year using a PC, but those libraries are installed in the default locations as well. The embedded libraries are working because the custom windows I've built load. It's pulling textures from the 18 library as my project is properly skinned. Just ask for anything you think could help solve this issue. The nuclear option is I have to redo basically everything in the project save the walls and roofs. Section/elevation markers, objects, doors and windows all do not load.

Since you are in North America you are within my support region. I will create a case and contact you directly.
