I am currently using ArchiCAD 18 on an i7-4790 3.60GHz with 32gb of RAM. I have tried using both Low and High sample qualities but neither fix this issue.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Tell me do you still have this problem when the bimx is not rendered using global illumination?

I believe it may have something to do with shadowing, as it does not occur on all curved surfaces, and is more prominent on those that should be shadowed.

1. In AC verify the material assigned to the toilet.
2. Open the Surfaces Palette and look for the Material
3. Change the Material rendering setting from internal to Cinema or OpenGL
4. If it shows black in C4D the use the "match C4D from internal" to update

The material does not seem to matter as some areas may show, while others are black. See the image attached of the cornice where some areas are black. It seems to only be on shorter lengths. All cornices have the same material.
Any thoughts?

We had similar problems back in version 17 - some machines had this problem while others were fine.
There was a hotfix that supposedly addressed this problem (see attached image).
Check you have the latest version of Archicad.
Check you video card drivers as well.
We are using the latest build for 18 and I haven't had any complaints about this lately - but we have also changed our machines as well.
