hi,

i'm new to A15, if anyone can help me on how to manage or edit the hatch property of a material used in an element. i am designing a spray-paint shed using colorbond sheets for external wall and roof, and i selected the material such as sheet roofing custom orb as skin of the element from the materials list, but either on the elevation or 3d views, im just getting a plain wall and roof.

hope you can help me... thanks!

If your fill (hatch) is assigned to your material and not showing up, make sure vectorial 3D hatching is turned on in your Elevation settings (Elevation tool), and for 3D window check the 3D window Settings, where hatching is only available in Internal Engine mode (not OpenGL).

I cant seem to get Archicad to show the hatch.

It does work in 3D however, just not in elevation.....

The material Vertical Exterior Siding is set as a finish in the composite. Is the Partial Structure Display for the elevation view set to Entire Model?

Thanks,
You pointed me in the right direction:

I had some "Graphic Overrides" on that followed from the plans..... (novice error, really)
