Good time of the day, gentlemen.
I need to make a part of the curtain wall same as the wall surrounding it. For this purpose I turn one part of it into a multilayer panel, and intend to set up its layers the same way the layers of the wall around it are set. It seems, however, that I can only change the thickness of the layers, but not their materials:
When I click on the little arrows next to the representations of the materials, nothing happens:

From colleagues.
Open object CWPanelComposite
Open "Parameters"
Add "!" symbol to the text hideparameter all
After that you will be able to choose materials in matrix form
That's cool, thank you! But could you please elaborate on the path, please? I can't find it. It seems like there are no Macros folder in the Libraries in German version of ArchiCAD. Perhaps it can be found somewhere else?:
To edit anything in the Archicad Library, you must first extract the library.
Then load that extracted library and make your changes.
You can then re-create the LCF (Library Container File).
Then re-place the original one with the new one.
But just be aware, any time there is a library update, you will have to go through the process again.
Also you will need to do it with each version of the library that you use (i.e. each new version that comes out - unless Graphisoft fixes the issue).
Unless you know what you are doing, I wouldn't do it.

Excuse me please, still I don't quite get what does it mean to extract though. Does it mean to extract like an archive? Cause in this case it seems not to work:
Or am I doing something wrong? Perhaps I should just open that file? But then the question is what programm I have to use for that?
Pardon me in advance, I'm not quite acquainted with the terminology
They are like a zip or compressed file, but they are a specific format for Archicad.
You have to extract and create through Archicad.
But as I said, if you are not sure what you are doing - don't do it.

Still looking?
