Can you set the Open GL to monochromatic?

Anonymous — Thu, 25 May 2023 15:55:07 GMT

I work a lot with Artlantis and when I export to Artanctis I find I have to remove archiCAD textures first. Because of that I normally end up with my ArchiCAD model looking like a rainbow of color, as each color is a place holder for artlantis. this can make my model look a little crazy when in the 3D view. So I'm wondering, is there a setting to turn my Open gl into a black and white sorta gray scale setting

I work between Artlantis and ArchiCAD as well, and like you I use Artlantis textures in Artlantis. But I leave the ArchiCAD textures alone, as they are good for preliminary visualization in ArchiCAD. I remove them in Artlantis on first exporting, then, when updating the model file from ArchiCAD to Artlantis, I use the original file as a reference file for all textures and other settings, and have ArchiCAD just export the geometry. See attached.

Graphic Overrides, introduced in ARCHICAD 20, can be used to set a uniform white surface on your model. In the default AC20 USA Templates there is a G.O. combination called "White Model" just for this occasion. If your file does not have the "White Model" combination you may open one of the default AC20 templates and export it. Then open your file and import it.
