I am working with ArchiCad Millenium Version 7.0 R3V3, on a Macintosh G4 running 0SZ1-9.2.2
I have Drawn Text in both TEXT3D tool and as GDL objects from manipulated slabs (Turned Vertical ). I want to show the shadow of the text falling across a wall, floor and projecting skirting (manipulated slab).
The shadows are OK in Rendered State but the 3D window shows a mixture of effects - some are Ok but others only result in the shadow of the depth of the letter the face remaining transparent (like a "pastry cutter"). Sometimes the shadow of the same letter is OK on the skirting but hollow on the floor or wall.
Different fonts respond in different ways, for example all fonts display 's' as hollow, all fonts display 'i' solid, CHICAGO font displays everything OK except 's', COURIER only shows 'i'
I replaced the WALL with a GDL BLOCK, I have added "SHADOWS ON" and "BODY-1" int the scripts but the results are the same.
Any Ideas for a solution?
