glass block window/wall

Tom Krowka — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:45:10 GMT

Having a problem with the glass block wall object that is in the window library. I can't seem to get the object to show the glass block lines in the 2d elevation or the 3d window. I've set all the parameters through the dialogue box. The 2d elevation shows a blank hole in the wall, the 3d shows a solid pane of glass.
Anybody get this figured out?

Did you ever solve this problem? I'm having the same thing here.

Not having a problem here. What are your settings?

I just managed to solve it by accident. I'm fairly new to the program and I was unfamiliar with how all the settings within the glass block wall work. I enlarged my wall and suddenly all the blocks appeared. That led me to dig further into it, and I got it figured out.

In short, I thought the blocks worked more like a .pat file, where it just repeated at a set interval. I didn't realize ArchiCAD was counting and defining each block. I'm good now. Thanks for the help anyway.

Can't recall what the problem was.....too long ago. Works ok now though.
