How to add custom texture to furniture?

Anonymous · ‎2015-05-12

Hello,
Sorry if this is a silly question, but I as a beginner am very confused about this. I have downloaded and placed a sofa in my interior, but when it is placed in the room, it appears plain grey. The image of it on the website was with colourful cushions and a light texture for the actual sofa, but I cannot find any way to make it appear the same in my model! The download folder has the texture images enclosed, so I wonder if there is any way to apply them on the objects?

Please help a fresh architecture student!
Thanks in advance!

Depending on which version of Archicad you are using there should be Material or Surface settings within the object's parameters. Can you show a screenshot of the object's settings?

Its a good idea to add AC version and operating system information to your signature (Profile link above) as answers can vary depending on these factors.

Hi,
It's Archicad 18 for Mac.
Here is a screenshot of the properties.

This is the download folder with the images of the textures.

Does un-checking the "Use AC Material…" buttons have any effect?

Tried all sorts of combinations. If all boxes unticked, then it just turns black.

Eaglette,
What do you see when you expand the blue triangle in the object settings.
There will be more options - maybe this will allow you to choose a material.

Hi, thanks, I think the file is too big to upload here.
Here's the link to where I downloaded it from.

Hi Barry, it seems to me that those are quite pointless.
