Door , windows missing in Archicad 24

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello Friends,
I have recently converted from Archicad 23 to Archicad 24. My door has changed and the window is totally missing. (See Fig 1.) All sliding window is showing as a hinged door. As I do have 23 & 24 both installed in my PC I have fixed the issue by reloading the Library 23. (see fig1)

But I felt like this is not the proper solution. What if I send this file to a person who has the library from Archicad 23. Someone may need this file after 5 or 10 years who will use another library.

Can you please suggest me a proper solution to this issue.

Regards
Avi Shiplu

If you want to save a state of your Project, or if you want to send the Project to someone, the best is to save as PLA. This way the saved file will contain all the library parts that are needed in the file, anytime in the future.

If your original project uses the version 23 Graphisoft library, then as you have found when you open it in 24, you can still use the 23 library.
If you want to change to the 24 library, you will also need to load the 23 migration library so there is proper conversion of objects.
