Cover Fills on doors need to be rotated?

Anonymous — Thu, 06 Feb 2025 10:32:44 GMT

Hi,
When using the same surface fill on a wall on a door, why does the surface fill need to be rotated for the door?
Anyway so thats pretty easy to make a copy and rotate the fill, however when the fill is rotated it displays the fill inverted??

Hello Javadevil,

When creating a custom door leaf, you must edit a slab in plan and save this slab as a door leaf. This leaf will then be straightened vertically before being available among the leaves of all the doors.
I suppose that during this rotation of the horizontal plane towards the vertical archicad returns the filling at the same time.
I proceed as you do: I duplicate the hatch and turn it 90° so that all the doors have a hatch of the same type as the walls.

Hi all,

Thank you for your opinions toward this topic!

With the help of my colleague, we found out that, if the leaf is a default door leaf: the direction of the surface's fill is different between the individual panels of the door leaf. Unfortunately, this is intentional. We enter a wish about the surface fill shouldn't rotate for door leaves.

I hope this answers your question! If you have any further issues, feel free to ask me again!

Best regards,
Minh

I think Javadevil is saying that the colours of the fill seem to be inverted in the shadows.
If you look at the doors in the shade, the lines representing the grain seem to get lighter rather than darker.
Although I suspect it is not the same material as the panel above the doors which is why the colour of the lines is different.

If you look at the stone work you will see the line colour of the fill does not change in the shadow, but the shadow does apply to the fill background.
The same is happening with the doors, the background is darker but the lines are the same.

The panel above the door is all in shade so there is no comparison, but I suspect it is a different fill to that on the doors, hence the lines are darker.

If that is not what you mean Javadevil, could you explain the problem in more detail.

Barry.
