. Cadimage doors show it both sides. You could make a custom door or door panel as well. But I would recommend acquiring the Cadimage doors and windows.

Rob:
Changing the Fill pen or Fill type should do it.
(And if the materials are the same, for panels & rails,... create a duplicate of
the material with a different name, i.e. "copy")

I guess I wasn't clear on my door panel statement.
How can I get the styles and rails on door panel types which have them available in the Archicad 17 library to show up on "BOTh" faces of the door panel?
It appears that in elevation view,......the doors which have the available styles and rail frames only are showing up on ONE side of the door.

Also.....flipping the door to view the rectangular frame around the door doesn't work because that effect merely changes the swing direction of the door......

GS, Got any thoughts?

No. I understood the question.
Try changing the values.
It worked for me in AC18.

Changing the value of the "surfaces" makes both sides of the door object show the styles and rails? "WHATCHU TALKIN' bout Willis?"

Would love to acquire the CADImage suite......just can't justify to my employer a $600 add-on to make doors which should be showing both sides of the panel with styles and rails....

Works for me in AC17. Elevation and 3D.

To restate: I change the material for the Door Panel's Fill Type and
I'm able to see the rail/panel lines in elevation (the side that didn't
work) and in 3D.

Are we using the same door?
D1 17, Standard 1 Panel

Regardless... I'd say it's a bug.

dude...YOU da MAN!
I have no idea how in the world you figured out that by adjusting some OBSCURE fill pattern in a sub-parameter of this door object forces a change in the door panel to show the styles and rails?....KUDOS to you my friend. thanks.
Now....as long as we are on the subject of doors and their appearances....how would I go about changing the vectoral hatch pattern of the inside panel of that same door we are talking about separate from the styles and rails materials?
meaning...if I wanted the door panel to have, say a vertical 4" wide slats let's say...and the styles an rails to have, say a white paint color...then how would I change that?

Glad you got it sorted.
Sometimes you have to experiment with
every setting you can find.
The pisser is when an unknown bug keeps
things from working as they should.
