Vectorial Hatching in Elevation - ArchiCAD 20

Anonymous — Thu, 20 Apr 2017 14:22:45 GMT

I can't get sun shadows or vectorial hatching to show on my exterior elevations. I think I've gathered that the control of this feature has moved from the Elevation Selection Settings to Graphic Overrides but I can't figure out how to make this work.

Basically somebody please tell me how to make the hatching and shadows work in elevation like they used to.

Hi.
The ON/OFF control is still in the elevation settings. You can change some things with Graphic Overrides.
Just double check that:
1. Your surfaces have hatching assigned to them.
2. Vectorial hatching is ON in the elevation settings.
3. Shadows are ON in the elevation settings.
4. Graphic Overrides are not changing the appearance of the elevation. Change it to "No overrides" to check this.

Best regards.

thanks for your quick response

Attached is a screenshot of where I thought the hatching on/off was and I don't see it anymore. Also I have the sun shadow box clicked and they're not showing.

5. There is no override for the surfaces in your Elevation setting: "fill with nothing" - a shadow can only show on a (background) solid "fill"

That was it. It was the "Nothing" box.

thanks.

Yep. Forgot that one. Should have been number 2.
