I'd like to be able to have a sheet of glass only, (no frame/no wall), to stretch between two post,( I'll design brackets to attached with). Does anyone know which AC object best fits that requirement, or is is possible with any AC windows/objects?
Thanks

My first answer was a single word (wall) .

To elaborate further, you can assign a different coloured glass to the edges to simulate the green edge effect of cut glass. It helps make a mostly invisible material show up in renderings (as per Dwight's "Lightworks in Archicad" interior example).

Hi s2art
After three yrs with this program one would think I know it better.
However, I actually go out and build the things I design with it, and by the time I get back to AC, (I'm joking here), but wheres the wall tool again?

But your last response was interesting to me because of my first inclination (after you said) "wall" was to use CP and make the top/bottom edges a little thicker and rounded out,(I like your color idea) for effect of railing, but just went with 3/8" glass.
(no can speak mm)(don't want to get killed by the yahoos on the job).
I think they are wilder than the cowboys on the Australian outback.
Thanks for the tips!!
