Hi-----
Trying to add some displacement effect to my surface i still find no effect in rendering pic. although it works fine in surface setting window!!! where is my missing point with my thanks

The surface material looks OK.
Now you need to turn on 'Sub-polygon displacement' in the render settings dialogue.
I can't remember exactly where (I think 'General' section near the bottom) as I don't have Archicad with me at the moment.

You may also need to increase the sub-division level in the surface settings if it looks distorted in the render.
Not too much as it increase render time.
Maybe to 6 or 7?

There is quite a bit of trial and error to pick the right settings.
