What problem is it ?

Hi,
This dialog pops when I switch from 2D to 3D view. This happens after I placed an object (20 stories building) into my master file. The problem's gone when I remove this object from Library manager.

Does anyone knows why ?

Please advise

Thanks

the object is an 22 stories building. I save this building as ArchiCAD object.

Does the error actually prevent the model from generating? Does it just affect the part itself or the whole model?

The only fix I can think of is to try resaving the building as a new library part. If it still has the problem try just saving floors 1-11 (or 0-10), and keep testing by halves until you find the offending bit in the source model. It's a bit tedious but the binary search zeros in on problems in the fewest steps (except for the occasional inspired guess).

it does not prevent the generating the model but it pops like-a-thousand-times.

You should follow Matthew's instructions for tracking down the source of the problem in the building file.

It does not solve your problem, it's a dirty fix

This option 'Interrupt with Error Message' in Options/Work Environment/Imaging and Calculation will only make (maybe) the messages disappear
