Window Contours in OpenGL

Anonymous
Not applicable
Is there a way to eliminate or change color of Window & Door contours in OpenGL? Contours are off in 3d Window Settings. Changing the Frame and Sash 3d Pens in the Window Tool Model Attributes, also does not work.

See attached.

I'm using AC19.

Thanks

I'm stuck on the same thing, is there any solution? Windows seem fine for me, it's the leaf contours for library "Door 23" I can't remove. Setting the object's 3d Leaf Pen to transparent or background makes it revert immediately to no. 2 of the pen set.

Dear All,

Thank you very much for your question and I am very sorry about the issue!

Unfortunately, this is a known limitation of Archicad. In 3D, each construction element will have contour lines, and these lines cannot be transparent. The only workaround I can think of is matching the pen color with the window/door surface to make them less pronounced in 3D.

Once again I am very sorry for the inconvenience! Please let me know if you have any further questions!

Best regards,
Minh
