Stipple objects?

Anonymous
Not applicable
Some times my object is shown with stipple lines in 2D.

On beds, and kitchen ++

Where do I control this function?

I do understand that if I want to show beds in future,
then it´s grat to use stipple lines, but not on object that are real.

Thanks `

It's based on the material you select for the surfaces of the element. You can control the hatch assigned to each material in the Attribute > Material menu.

Well, I can´t see that that´s the answer?

When I put out a doubble bed, it´s ok with lines,
but when I choose single bed, it comes with stipple lines.

Well, the basic install of ArchiCAD should use lines,
not stipple when putting out objects?

oh, 2D!!! Sorry, I read that as 3D for some reason.

There should be a fill parameter in the object somewhere that you can change.

there are a lot of really weird defaults in the library, and some of them depend on what template file you are using.

By "stippled", do you mean "dashed"??? If so: there doesn't seem to be a line type parameter within the Parameters panel, so go to the Floor Plan and Section panel, make sure "Enable Object's Linetypes" is not checked, and set the "Symbol Lines" to the desired line type.
