3d model settings

K-SAM — Sat, 24 Aug 2024 04:50:48 GMT

I'm a beginner and I'm struggling with 3d settings. My brick wall in 3d, pen lines are all over the drawing edges and it can't show mortar joints,bricks pattern or when I make a tiled roof it can't show the tile pattern. What might be the problem?

like in this photo this is a brick wall. In 3d mode it only shows brick red colour but no brick pattern🧱. Same case on the roof in the model those are corrugated roofs but it can't show the corrugated pattern in 3d it only shows some white surface.

What is the problem?

Ok @K-SAM,

Simply go to View menu then 3D view options then 3D styles, if it’s set to Basic vectorial you can change it to (Simple shading vectorial or Simple shading) it gonna show your material pattern.

Check your (Simple shading) option settings, if 3D engine is set to Vectorial engine change into hardware acceleration option.

If you provide your hardware specs, OS & Archicad version No. it’d be useful for advising you better.
