external wall cladding doesn't show up in the elevations?

Anonymous — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 16:04:27 GMT

Hi i am new to archicad and was wondering if anyone could help. I have designed a number of buildings for a project all walls and roofs need to have wood cladding, the problem is this cladding is not showing up in the elevation screens they just look like plain walls? Any sugestions.

Check your elevation settings. The manual and help files might add to your knowledge too.

Have you assigned a fill/hatching to the specific material you are using?

Also check that 'Vectorial 3D Hatching' is ticked for uncut elements in the elevation settings.

In the elevations settings (right click or control T on the elevation arrow) there are some fields that you can open up and change controls. open the model field up and select "vectorial 3d hatching." this will allow all hatches associated with a material (in options, element attributes, materials) to show in an elavation.
