Applying materials per face of a wall

kency — Tue, 07 Nov 2023 09:03:47 GMT

Is it possible to apply materials per edge of a wall. I could see an option to apply materials / textures to each side and all 4 edges of a wall. Also is it possible to add custom images as materials / textures?

No, all 4 edges (top, bottom and ends) are considered as one surface.

But yes, you can apply custom images as textures:

find the Surfaces-button, and open the dialog-box. The easiest way to do this is to make a copy of an existing material, and just change the texture. This can be a stock-image from Archicads library, there are far more textures than actual surfaces in Archicad. Or something from the web or whatever.

The attached image shows an example, I found these two images on the internet, and applied them as textures:

Isola Tyvek and Hunton is two types of windbreakers that are available where I live. I made this particular piece as a visual explanation some time ago.

I don't think this is quite what kency was asking.

I have embedded their image to the original post.

They were asking about individual top, bottom and end surfaces.

As far as my english goes, that was a part of the question?

I do apologise.

I should read the whole message and not skim so quickly.
