Is it possible to apply materials per edge of a wall. I could see an option to apply materials / textures to each side and all 4 edges of a wall. Also is it possible to add custom images as materials / textures?
Solved! Go to Solution.

No, all 4 edges (top, bottom and ends) are considered as one surface.

But yes, you can apply custom images as textures:
find the Surfaces-button, and open the dialog-box. The easiest way to do this is to make a copy of an existing material, and just change the texture. This can be a stock-image from Archicads library, there are far more textures than actual surfaces in Archicad. Or something from the web or whatever.
The attached image shows an example, I found these two images on the internet, and applied them as textures:
Isola Tyvek and Hunton is two types of windbreakers that are available where I live. I made this particular piece as a visual explanation some time ago.

I don't think this is quite what kency was asking.
I have embedded their image to the original post.
They were asking about individual top, bottom and end surfaces.

I do apologise.
I should read the whole message and not skim so quickly.
