Curtain Wall problem, help!

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am a relative beginner to Archicad 17 so sorry if this question is not too difficult. I created a curtain wall using the curtain wall tool and at the corners of the curtain wall I have 2 sheets of glass joined together using a mitre joint. For this special corner piece I understand I have to use the CW Corner Panel type so as to get the mitered edge. This is all fine except for this piece of glass has a coating which when I render it, it looks different to the other regular generic panels of glass. See attached image. Is there any way to remove this coating so that I can get it to look like the same as the generic panels? I already tried this in the settings but looks like cant remove it.

Thanks

chambint:

Go to Curtain Wall Settings > Panels > CW Corner Panel 17 > Curtain Wall Panel Settings > Appearance > Surfaces and check that these surfaces are the same as the Surfaces of the other panels.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

Thanks for the reply. I tried that but I am still having problems. Basically my curtain wall is made up of all generic panels except for the corner panels which are the CW corner panel. Attached are the settings for the generic panels and also the CW corner panel. It seems like the generic panels have surface of glass but the CW corner panels are clear glass or blue glass. I cant change it so that it is the same glass material as the generic panels. Any ideas?

Thanks again

Maybe you have an override in Model-tab that it uses building materials for the panel surface. See pic attached (blue overrides red).
