The sash bars of the storefront are set to full detail level in 2D and 3D, but I cannot see the sash bars in the elevations unless I select the storefront.

Please advise!

First I would check your Model View Options to see if the panels are set to show full detail.

If that does not help, then is transparency turned off in your elevation settings?

Or the glass is not a transparent material?

Just wondering if the glazing bars (grids) are on the other side of the glass.

 

Also elevations are actually 3D views, not 2D, so they are controlled by the 3D settings.

Thank you, Barry,

 

1) How can I check the Model View Options in ArchiCAD 26?

The 2D Detail level is Full

2) transparency is turned off in elevation settings. 

3) the sash bars are aluminum

Model View Options are not in the object settings.

They are an Archicad overall file setting.

Elevations are 3D, not 2D.

They are views of the 3D model.

 

If you are seeing the grid bars in 3D, then your MVO settings are OK I think.

 

If you are seeing the grid bars in 3D and not the elevations, transparency will need to be turned on in the elevations.

I am suspecting the grid bars are on one side of the glass only or do not have any thickness.
