How do I remove duplicate library parts?

I use AC12 and has downloaded and used objects in my project. Suddenly I get an Library Load Report telling me there are 206 duplicate library parts. The help documentation tells me to remove the duplicate library part, but not how to do it. Can someone help a newbee?

You will need to use the Finder/Explorer to search inside the folders that contain the libraries to find and eliminate the duplicates. If the libraries are Containers (.lcf files), then you will need to Extract the libraries first to work inside of them.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
