The surface material looks OK.
Now you need to turn on 'Sub-polygon displacement' in the render settings dialogue.
I can't remember exactly where (I think 'General' section near the bottom) as I don't have Archicad with me at the moment.

You may also need to increase the sub-division level in the surface settings if it looks distorted in the render.
Not too much as it increase render time.
Maybe to 6 or 7?

There is quite a bit of trial and error to pick the right settings.
