Then right click on the image and choose "save and place on layout", from the pet palette. For extra pop, you may want to open the 3D windows settings palette and turn on Sun shadows.<BR /> 2)In 3D windows settings, turn contours OFF.<BR /> 3) for an angled element viewed in elevation, you could use a roof slice set the angle as desired and choose the edge material or image. You could also make a library part of your object, saved at the correct angle. You might make a complex profile and place it as a beam. You could use the truss-maker and create what appears to be your trussed or ribbed object that way. No end to the options, try several and pick the one that suits best. Plus you'll learn something new.<BR /> <BR /> Snap Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:05:28 GMT Anonymous 2010-09-01T21:05:28Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/coloured-elevations-and-lines-in-3D-model/m-p/199691#M108143 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>I'm just getting used to using archicad and have drawn up a simple desgin and I have three qustion if i may. <BR /> <BR /> 1) How do i get my colors and renderings to appear in elevation?<BR /> 2) How do i get rid of the lines that come up when two objects meet?<BR /> 3) How can i draw a feature on a wall on an angle?<BR /> <BR /> Questions 2 and 3 i have attached to show what i mean.<BR /> <BR /> They may be simple but im not quite sure how to fix it.</T></DIV><BR /><IMG src="http://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/68138i2CE16E10FFF5461C/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" border="0" alt="line where 2 objects meet 3D.jpg" title="line where 2 objects meet 3D.jpg" /> Wed, 01 Sep 2010 18:16:35 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/coloured-elevations-and-lines-in-3D-model/m-p/199691#M108143 Anonymous 2010-09-01T18:16:35Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/coloured-elevations-and-lines-in-3D-model/m-p/199692#M108144 baz88,<BR /> <BR /> 1)Use the &gt;View, &gt;View3d mode, &gt;Parallel Projections Settings, set up an orthogonal projection, remembering to move the Sun into an advantageous position.
