White walls become grey in Sections/elevations view

Anonymous — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 08:16:56 GMT

Hey everybody. Pretty new to the program and I like it alot.
But I have one pretty annoying problem.
I design shops för various customers and the walls and some of the furnishing is always white. The white colour works great in layout and in 3D. But when I create section/elevations the white parts, automaticlly becomes grey.??!!
So now I just use the section/elevation tool without filling, and creates the filling with the fill tool.

So my question is:
Is it possible to get my walls and furniture white in the section/elevation view, using the "fill uncutsurfaces with:" - "elemnts own material" in the section settings? As for now it does´nt work. Any suggestions to what to do?
It would save me a lot of time and extra work.

Thanks in advance.

That's a bug AFAIK. It was briefly discussed here. Only alternative is to use different options for the uncut surfaces.

... provided you are using archicad 11: try changing the section or elevation's 'fill uncut surfaces' setting to 'own materials (non-shaded)'.

otherwise, with archicad 10 you are limited to making all materials white.
