If you don’t want to perform a full installation, you can replace the existing folder:
\ETC\PythonPartsFramework
with the correct one by performing following steps:

2. open the ETC path (described below) and rename the existing PythonPartsFramework directory to PythonPartsFramework_OLD
3. use the following link to download the folder from our cloud
4. paste this folder into the ETC directory
5. start Allplan and test the execution of PythonParts. If the restrictions still exist, you have to go to the installation setup.
You can reach the ETC directory via the Allmenu as follows:
Service > File Explorer > General Program Data
After that you still have to change to the ETC directory and you will find the mentioned folder there.
