Elevation showing grid lines in shadow hatch

Bevan Sabo — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 03:36:42 GMT

Hi all, wondering if anyone else has come across this issue. I've read a few other posts but when using their solutions and apply different settings I'm still where I started... Have a attached a snapshot of the elevation, elevation setting & fill menu. Maybe the type of fill I'm using? Have tried the 25% and still gives me the same result too.

Operating system used: Windows

Hi,

There are two different headings in Archicad where you can enable shadows.

One of these is the shadow heading under the fade distant elements option, which you can activate if you want to add a layer of proximity or distance to their appearance.

The other is the shadow option at the very end of the model appearance heading. Their settings may differ from each other and this may be affecting it.
