Template update AC27 to AC29 - Textures missing

[Titiriga]

Hello,

I'm trying to update my template from Archicad 27 to Archicad 29. I've resolved most issues, but I'm still having trouble with some textures.

Library Manager is showing a warning about several missing attributes. They appear to be image textures, but I can't determine where they are being used. The Show in Library Manager button is grayed out, and the More Info... button points to surfaces that don't actually use the missing textures.

I've also checked the Cineware and Redshift by Maxon engine, but I still can't find where these textures are referenced.

Does anyone know where else I should look or how I can identify what is using these missing textures?

Thank you.

Yes, after I activate the Check Surfaces menu command and delete those surfaces, the Check Surfaces command is no longer enabled in the menu.

So, I guess for the Check Surfaces command to be enabled, 1. you need to be in the Floor Plan Viewpoint, and 2. the project file has to have image files specified in unused rendering engine parameters in the Surfaces Dialog that are missing from the libraries. If all is well in this regard, the command is not enabled.

this comes up all the time, and usually/sometimes/often/never, update cinerender from basic settings fixes it. In this particular case, I've found the surface that the image is missing from, but can not find where it is missing in the basic or cineware settings...
how do you resolve this?

@Patrick M ,

I have merged this with a similar post that may have the solution you are looking for.

I'm not sure it does... check surfaces doesn't seem to fix this issue.

@Patrick M, Did you do all steps I wrote down in this post?:

Check Surfaces is only step 1 (it removes references to missing textures referenced by uncheckmarked Cineware channels only, but not the references to missing textures by checkmarked - in use - Cineware channels). There are two more steps if step 1. does not resolve it.
