Coloring Wall using C++ code

[roni]

I was trying to provide different colors to wall using the C++ API’s. Could someone help which property has to be used? I’m using ArchiCAD 25

Hi Roni,

There are a lot of different ways depending on the exact thing you want to do (everything related to API_WallType)

• Change the building material: elem.wall.buildingMaterial
• Override just on a surface: elem.wall.refMat/ elem.wall.sideMat/ elem.wall.oppMat
• Change the color in 2D views: elem.wall.cutFillPenand/or elem.wall.cutFillBackgroundPen

Best,
Bernd

PS: Please post C++ questions into the section 'Developer Hub -> Archicad C++ API'.
