Is It Possible to Create a One-Way Vision Material in Archicad?

I would like to know if it is possible to create a one-way vision material in Archicad, where from the outside it appears dark and not transparent, but from the inside it remains visible to the outside. If possible, how can this be achieved?

 

Operating system used: Windows 10

A single material, no.

But you can apply a transparent material to one side of a wall and a non-transparent material to the other side.

Do note that if you plan do renders in an external program, this may mess with the UVs. Twinmotion used to mess up the UV for some surfaces and to fix it you would need to force two-sided, but in this case, it would mean that you glass is looking at a solid face... Not sure if this has been fixed since, there have been quite a few major updates since.

in Cinerender it is possible, using a shader.

This is a video of a russian master user who explains in details how to achieve the requested effect.

I suggest to use subtitles. 

Hope it helps.
