Veneer wall

Hi there. How can I change a double brick veneer wall to a black solid veneer wall in my floor plan?

Check the pen set.

The pens may indeed be dark grey and not pure black (RGB 0,0,0).

"I have checked it, and it is black."

That first pen is black, but what about all of the others?

You need to know what pens your building material fills are using, and they need to all be black.

Keep the white pens as white, as you don't want them to print.

You can leave some coloured or grey pens as well if you need to see those.

Do you know what pen set and pen number is actually being used on your plan for the graphic override rules ? Please find that pen and change the RGB values all to zero as Barry has shown you above.

 

If that doesn’t work then you will need to search for the offending pen. It could take a while from my experience with AC over the years. At least you will learn your way around Archicad by searching for the offending pen.

 

That’s the game you will be playing with AC for as long as you use it. One day they may actually find a better way to organize the programs line attributes so they are very easy to find.

 

This is AC greatest flaw IMO.

Thank you so much, Barry. I did it.☺️
