How to load the ARCHICLUB library

Hi, I downloaded the ARCHICLUB library to use the GSITA zone. However, when I import the ARCHICLUB library into the library manager, it imports 0 objects. How can I do?

What version of Archicad are you using and what version is the library made for?

If it if for a version that is newer that what you have, you will see nothing.

I'm using Archicad 25 and i downloded Raccolta_Archiclub_25_22-01-18.Ifc

 

Well that looks like you have the correct versions.

Can you show a screen shot of your Library Manager?

 

And if you browse into the library, do you see any objects there?

Similar to this?

I see the library in the Library Menager, but he say me that there's no objects uploded even though i see any objects of the Library in the Library Menager.

That is just telling you how many objects have been placed.

But as you are un-able to place them, that is why it says zero.

Your Library Manager all looks good.

 

I had a thought last night as I closed my machine.

This tricks a few people.

When you go into the object settings to place an object, make sure you have the chair icon selected.

If you have the search icon active, you will see nothing until you type in a search term.

I can see the object of the archiclub library in the object default settings, but i don't see the new GSITA zone in the zone settings.

You can't choose the zone stamp in the zone settings.

You have to set that in the zone categories ... OPTIONS menu > Element Attributes > Zone Categories.

Each zone category can have a different stamp.

 

Just to complicate it further, in 25 you do not need zone stamps at all.

You are now able to label a zone.

You can read about it in the New Features section of the reference manual.

Or search here about zone labels and you will find a few posts on the subject.
