Archicad Accessories Library is missing

Issue Description

You installed the Goodies package, but when you try to use any Accessories (roof, wall, slab, etc.) from the Design Extras menu, you notice that the Accessories are missing from your project's Library.

This issue can occur for two reasons:

1. The required libraries were not loaded into the project.
2. In Archicad 28, the library may have been loaded incorrectly. Unlike previous versions, Archicad 28 requires loading the .libpack file directly, rather than the folder containing it.

Solution

You need to add the Accessories Library to your project via the Library Manager. This file is downloaded together with the Goodies installer. Follow these steps:

1. Open the Library Manager via File > Libraries and Objects > Library Manager...

2. Click Add..

3. Browse for the Accessories Library file in the following location:

• For Archicad 28 and later: You must load the libpack file directly, not the folder as in previous versions. Locate the Accessories Library.libpack file in the following location:

  • Windows: C:\Program Files\Graphisoft\Archicad XX\Accessories Library\Accessories Library.libpack
  • Mac: Applications/Graphisoft/Archicad XX/Accessories Library/Accessories Library.libpack
    
    

• For Archicad 27 and earlier: You need to load the Accessories Library XX folder. Find it in this location:

  • Windows: C:\Program Files\Graphisoft\Archicad XX\Accessories Library XX
  • Mac: Applications/Graphisoft/Archicad XX/Accessories Library XX

4. Click OK  

The Accessories Library in Archicad 28 should appear as shown in the screenshot below when it has been loaded correctly:
