Seeing the content of composit-walls in plane-view

[Kamelite]

As the subject says, how do I get to see that in plane view? I used Archicad 15 for a while some time ago, and I remember beeing able to see for instance insulation within the wooden composite wall when beeing in plane view. In 16, however, I haven't been able to do that. How do I make that happen?

One place to check is the Model View Options > Override Fill Display.

That didn't quite solve my problem. With that unchecked, the wall seen in plane view is drawn with a line separating each "layer" in the composite wall, but every layer is just gray. As far as I can remember, for instance, a wall with insulation in it would display with a kind of curvy line representing the insulation, and so on. A concrete wall would look like it had some larger stones in it.. Or is my memory playing games with me?

The upper snapshot shows a composit wall with override cut-fill unchecked. The lower picture is taken from Archicad 15, and shows the effect i'm trying to achieve. However, if you look at the symbol in the model view options, right next to the override cut-fills, and with it unchecked, you should see what I'm trying to do. There you see some patterns representing each layer in the wall

Another option to check is the Renovation Filter Options: is the fill being Overrided?

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.

Mystery solved! The problem was that cut fill pen and cut fill background was both set to light gray by default... Changing one of them solved the problem!

Thanx for all the help.
