Hi,

Been for a while trying to figure out why railings display transparent, regardless of materials, surfaces, etc...
see image...

This has possibly an easy answer..

Many thanks

Look at Model View Options (MVO) > Railing Options > Railing 3D and Section/Elevation: if it is set to Simplified or Schematic, the Surface is controlled by the Attributes... setting.

Thanks David.

I have been working with Archicad for a few days only, and it still feels a bit daunting.

I have added system info to my profile

Cheers.

Yes, ArchiCAD is a large and complex application. Settings for some features can be hard to find. It should get easier as you establish your own working methods.

Thanks for adding your signature.

Hi! I will join to the existing topic.

I am wondering if it´s possible to set a railing transparent in the elevations?

The material is transparent, but not visible as such.
