Archicad export coloured SOLIDS to rhino?

andrei4 — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 00:23:59 GMT

I want to export to rhino something like this wall, where one side is coloured, and the others are white. However when i export to rhino it converts everything to one colour. Would there be a way to get around this, have it make some intersection at the bisector inside the object?

Mine works ok using "Save As…" in RH format from the 3D Window.

FWIW check the Rendered setting in Rhino since it looks like you are in "Arctic Mode" and with that setting RH will always render white

Hey are you sure when you exported to rhino you went into options and selected solids? This looks like the shell export, where the object cannot be 3d printed properly.

That is correct but I misread the title.

If the question is "Can I export to Rhino as a solid and have different colors on the sides?" then the answer is no.

The export settings in AC indicate that

So the options are either have 2 walls in AC with the problems that they present.

What i was thinking of as a solution maybe was complex profile a wall, so that it has actual width. The problem would be the wall ends, where it would have a weird profile with all the slices of wall. Haven't thought of any other fix.
