Windows Question ..... transparency & reflection

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi guys..... I did the right thing....I did a search to see if someone had asked this question before..... so forgive me if I missed it.

I am wondering if it is possible to set the material of a window to be transparent from the inside....and just reflective from the outside?..... Is this something that can be done inside archicad or do I have to remap the UV's once I go into my 3D App?

Thanks,

Tom

You'd hack the window object GDL code to allow separate materials on the front and rear of the glazing.

Ideal glass material involves using shaders, not maps.
