Hi 

there is sometimes this kind of 3D visualition issues

i just want to how to fix it properly

thank you

Any time you see a checkerboard pattern like that it means that the surface texture associated with that element is missing.   Click on the slab and examine the settings.

To enhance what Karl has said, the texture image file needs to be in your loaded libraries.

Check the surface settings to see what it should be or you should see a warning in the Library Manager.

Hi 

Thanks for your answers.  But i don't relly know in wich part of the surface setting i can fix it. However when i check the libraries setting this is what i see

So please i would like to know how to have the same vizualisation that is in others versions

You seem to have a mixture of languages in your libraries.

You have 'Archicad Library 25' and the 'Archicad Migration Libraries' - I assume these are INT language.

You then have 'Bibliotheque Archicad 19' which is a different language and has not been loaded properly (hence it is 'missing').

My guess is that the missing surface texture images are in that library.

Whatever language your Bibliotheque library is from, you should probably be loading the Bibliotheque Library 25 and the corresponding migration libraries, then you will not need to load Bibliotheque Library 19 at all.

Hi

excuse me but i didn't really understand what to do in your last paragraph. 

My concern is to know how to handle effectivly such a situation. 

Sometimes this is not due to using a element of old version of archicad, it happens even if i start a projet with recent version of archicad 

[Barry Kelly]

You need to find and load 'Bibliotheque Archicad 19'.

It is not ideal to mix libraries from various languages as it can create problems with duplicates of objects and macros.

Unless you are happy to to that.

That is what I was suggesting in my last paragraph, load only the libraries from one language.

But if you do that now and you have used any objects from the INT library, they will become missing instead.
