Building Material MISSING + frameless corner window

Hello,
I am using an ArchiCAD 18 and I don't have a Building Material dialog box in Options > Element Attributes >. It only exist in Options > Element Attributes > Attribute Manager. I can not really work properly without it, is there an option to get it, maybe somewhere in work preferences? It is killing me. (

Also I can not create a window corner without a frame - was this option not jet available in ArchiCAD 18?

Thank you in advance,
Sasa

For the corner window please check that the window you are using is "Fixed" any other type needs a frame to be able to open.
The other question I cannot answer since I don't have AC18 installed.

For the building materials dialogue it sounds like you have a custom work environment and this was removed from the menu.
Either load a 'Standard' work environment or edit your custom one and add that command back into the menu structure.

Turn on the "Attributes" toolbar and you'll have a quick shortcut to get there.

Frameless "glass" corner connection doesn't work with all windows, as far as I recall.

There should be a repeating (ribbon?) horizontal window in the ArchiCAD library that allows for the setting. Maybe some others too. Could just be the Dutch localisation that has it locked/unavailable for others.
