The same error message w/ the same part was mentioned in this thread, but no solution was posted:
Pen error message - Pen color less than 1 but greater than..

You might need to post more specific information about the library parts and their settings to get useful advice, when I searched the US ArchiCAD Library I could not find this part.

The cause of this issue could be due to a wrong or missing pen reference. A common cause for a missing pen reference is when you bring an older pen set into a newer version of ArchiCAD. For instance in ArchiCAD 9 international version pen 19 was white and in ArchiCAD 11 it is Pink. To resolve this issue you can try going into the Window Selection settings - > Parameters - > 2D representation - > Then look for "Fill Set" and make sure its set to on. Then double check that all your pens are referencing a working pen color.
