Arch 19 Door: How to change Transom / Mullion material?

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 09:40:34 GMT

Hello,

I'm working with a sidelight + transom window in ArchiCAD 19. I am trying to change the transom/ sidelight frames and mullions to different materials. They are shown as blue and white in the attached photo, respectively.

This was very easy to do in Arch 17. If I remember correctly, it was handled in Leaf Settings. However, Arch 19 doesn't have the same settings and is forcing me to have the door leaf and transom frame as the same color. Is it possible individually change the transom frame and mullion materials?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The Grid Surface Outside/Inside settings control the Surface setting of the Mullion.
But as I see it, the Frame Surface Outside/Inside parameters control the Surface settings of the Frame around the leaf, the Frame of the Transom and the Frame of the Sidelight, probably because they are generated as one geometry.

Are you sure this was possible to set separately in AC17?
The surface settings seem very similar to me for this Door type in AC17 and AC19 and I cannot set Surface separately for the Transom and Sidelight in AC17 either.
