DWG Export Issue: Elevations and Sections Showing as Solid Black Fills

Hello everyone,

I need some help with exporting a project from Archicad to DWG.

I have tried exporting the file using different DWG translators, but I always encounter the same issue, especially in elevations and sections, and also with the north symbol.

In the exported DWG, the elevations and sections appear with solid black fills, as if the material hatches (such as glass, roof tiles, etc.) are not recognized as proper hatches or fills. Instead, they are displayed as black areas.

I would like to export the file so that it looks the same, or at least very similar, to how it appears in Archicad.

In the attached images, the Archicad file is shown on the right, and the DWG export result is shown on the left.

If anyone could kindly help me understand how to correctly export the file or which DWG translator settings I should use, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you in advance!

hello!

I've solved a question similar to that doing the following:

Change the surface fills to background fills with the desired final color and don't use transparency.

In the translator, check whether the frame backgrounds are being exported as extra hatches/fills.

Also, on the same page of the Dialog in @fabioverissimoTUU's screenshot, make sure that the top option is set to "Export all Fills 'as is'".
