well I deleted all of the preference files...and that doesn't seem to work...this error message only pops, right after I sign in and when the files closes....

Any progress on this problem? I get it when opening section or 3d windows; increases with use of AC9se library objects and boolean operations on walls. However, also seems to be machine specific.

Perhaps this error message can be suppressed as it serves no useful purpose.

This error message deserves the "most useless message of the decade" award.

Seriously though I hope the next version removes this error message or better still advise what the real problem is.

In my experience this error can often be attributed to a corrupt drawing element eg section ref, object, door, window being the cause. If you can find it (no mean feat) and delete, this can fix the problem.

I have resorted to opening all doors, windows and objects one by one and seeing if an error message occurs until the offending parameter is corrected or delete and put in a new one.

Sometimes I even save the file and restart the PC and then the error message disappears.

I agree - I haven't seen a message quite this perverse since Windows 3.1. (Shouldn't there be a "Not OK" button next to the "OK" button that would send a report to Graphisoft?)

...that way lies madness, not to mention low productivity - it shouldn't be your task to debug this pricey software package.

However, having said that, I've checked my "Report" and found that all the error messages (dozens per day) are the result of AC9SE Library (the latest) GDL object errors, mostly doors and windows - "Group operation errors" - and columns - "Too many CUTEND statements".
I get the feeling that the initial release of the AC9SE Library was a bit rushed - I came across dialogue boxes under the wrong tabs, and buttons that had been switched (the buttons performed their neighbour's function). The second release still seems to have problems and I hope these can be addressed soon as I'm using this library in a number of projects and am reluctant to switch libraries mid-project.
