Issue Description
You want Object Settings search to return results only from the local Archicad Library and to temporarily/permanently disable results coming from the online BIMcomponents portal (marked with a globe icon).
Solution
A temporary solution is to open the object’s settings and click the cogwheel icon next to the search bar..
From here, you can turn off the BIMcomponents search.
You can also turn it back on. But what if you would like a more permanent option?
The search function of the Object Settings dialog uses a registry/plist key to get the service URL. If this is set to the localhost it won't reach the BIM Components portal.
To do this follow the steps below:
- Close Archicad
- Open RegEdit
- Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\GRAPHISOFT\Archicad\Archicad 27.0.0 UKI R1\BIMcomponents.com
- Left double click on ServiceURL and set the value to https://localhost
- Close RegEdit, then relaunch Archicad if you search in the object settings you'll get no results from the BIMcomponents site.
