Window tranparency

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hey there!

When I place a window in Archicad it's glass becomes transparent by default. This is great for the 3D model and for that purpose I'd like to keep it that way, but how can I make the glass non-transparent for sections and elevations?

Thanks for the help!

In Section or Elevation settings, under the Model Display tab look for the Transparency setting and turn it off.

That did the trick! Thanks very much.
You would'nt happen to know can I color the glass in sections and elevations would you?

Thank you!

For the glass color change the material, either by choosing another or creating a new one.

That would work on the 3D view, but I dont think it would work on sections and elevations!

Yes it will if you turn"Fill Uncut element settings with own materials…" option under de section/elevation settings.
