elevations with texture maps

[Anonymous]

Hi all,
I am new to archicad ,javascript:emoticon(':D') having spent a while using sketchup which is great but hard to use for accurate plans etc.
I really want to know how to produce scale elevations in archicad that have texture maps instead of vector hatches.
ie how you get the elevations to look like the 3d model in the perspective window, but to scale.
Surely this is possible and I'm just missing the obvious?
I'm on Archicad 16
Thank you!

Can someone tell me WHY the shaded fills are not usable / viewable in ELEVATION / SECTION? Sorry, but nothing else says GLASS like 25% shade. Yet when applied to the glass material, it does not show in these views.

I am sure this has been brought up before, but it can't be "rocket science".. It would seem (to me, the layman) that is should be EASIER than mapping a vector pattern...

Just spent 3 hours adding my own SHADE fills for windows... Can't wait till they start making adjustments to the plan!

ArcTangent:

Please oh please let the VECTOR HATCH PEN be unique in elevations / sections... I need to "dumb down" the building to one pen, but I really NEED the vector hatching to be thinner...

The technology is obviously already there... why can't we tap into it in elevation / section?
