Skylight opening line - how to turn it off

kielbasa — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 18:10:49 GMT

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to turn off the opening lines on skylight windows in the 3d view. It's Archicad 28.
I can't find this option anywhere in the object parameters, nor in the model view options. The 'skylight 3d opening line' icon is unchecked, but the line still exists in the 3d view.
Where is the problem?
thanks

Operating system used: Windows

Seems you are loading both your your 27 libraries and 29/20 libraries?

This is not a good idea.

You are using a version 28/29 skylight, but you are changing the settings for the version 27 skylights.

The objects in 28/29 are completely new.

Barry, I think I'd need your help again. I don't want to make another thread.
Why in the picture below the glass in the door is not the glass, and it's all wooden? 'Uniform material for the whole object' is off. Any clue?

I'm struggling with this new Archicad, some things are moved elsewhere, there's many changes, and I have a feeling that not many of them are improved at all.

It is to do with the Model View Options again.

I don't know why, but the default settings are schematic, which confuses just about every new user.

You want 'Full' for both the doors and windows.

Be sure to change this setting in all of the MVO combinations, as each combination has its own settings.

Barry.
