Graphic Override - Cardboard Model with Uncut Glass

Tincan561 — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 14:32:34 GMT

I noticed this graphic override in the AC20 new features videos, however I am unable to recreate the rules.

I can make make doors or windows entirely blue, however I am unable to override only the glass surface within a door or window and turn it blue, which is the result I desire.

Can anyone help or post the exported the Cardboard Graphic Override Combinations? A link to download the model they are using (MS Office Building.pln) would also work.

You can override only entire elements, not skins/components/individual Building Materials.
Those clips do the same: if you look closely you will see that all Doors, Windows and Curtain Walls are glass.
In the attached image you can find the GO Rule that overrides all Doors, Windows, Corner Windows, Skylight, Curtain Walls with the "Glass - Blue" Surface. (Curtain Walls were used to model many of the large complex Window surfaces of the building).

This other GO Rule was used to override all other uncut element types. Its criteria selects all Element types that are not Windows, Doors, Corner Windows, Skylights or Curtain Walls and overrides those with a white surface.

So this GO Combination is very similar to the default Cardboard model GO of ARCHICAD 20, with the difference that it uses two GO Rules for Uncut elements instead of one.

And here is the Graphic Override Combination, which applies the two above mentioned GO Rules, plus the "Cardboard Model - Cut" GO Rule, which is the same as the default Rule available in ARCHICAD 20.
