Archicad 14 storefront windows materials

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:36:31 GMT

I'm trying to change the materials settings in the W Storefront 5 13 unit (window). I've selected a material under Model but the material doesn't change in the 3D mode. If I uncheck the "use object's materials" the materials change but so does the glazing. How can I change the frame material without the glass?

The materials should have individual settings in the parameter list in the settings dialog.

I'm sorry but I've been through each and every parameter listing and don't see anything to change the materials. The only place to do that is under "model" but unless I uncheck the "use object's materials" the materials don't change. If I do uncheck that box, everything changes, including the glass.

I didn't have those options but loaded the Archicad 14 library parts and now have those options. Thanks!

Strange. I opened this from the AC13 library. Glad you've got it sorted.

I realized I wasn't using the migration library. Drawing is in version 14 but library was 13 so perhaps that's why.
