We've started working with hotlinks, but seem to be missing elements in the "Master file"
I have:
1x "Master" site.
1x Module A
1x Module B
Module A and B has different storey settings.
Module A and Master Site has the same storey settings.
Module A is missing some elements in the Master Site.
Module B, with different storey settings, seem to show all the elements.
Below is what Module A looks like:
But this is how it shows in the Master Site:
This was the original storey settings of Module A and the Master Site: Same Same.
I then added an additional "top storey" to the master site and re-linked Module A, but it made no difference:

To solve this problem there are two solutions:
1. To understand what this element is. Try to select only this element and identify. Then it can be re-created again. In very rare cases walls connection might give this glitch.
2. Open hot linked pln file in ArchiCAD in mode "safe and repair".

Module B is showing correctly, but it has different storey settings to the Master Site.
This is the Module B:
This it how it shows in the Maste Site
And this is the storey settings of Module B and the Master Site

When you create new holink, the new window appears to choose all floors or selected storey:

The settings that is shown earlier in the tread are all correct.
But "updating" the hotlink didn't update the missing elements.
I deleted the original hotlink completely and re-hotlinked it.
Seems to be working fine now.

The hotlink shows a floor that is about 6000km long
Yes 6000km.
It seems to be part of the hotlinked module, but the object/floor doesnt seem to be in the module.
I've deleted to module, resaved the module, re-hotlinked the module, but the object still shows in the master file, but not in the module file.
Any ideas?
