I also suggest buying one of Dwight's books as they go over the basics of these settings box and you will find his tomes invaluable.
I see now, for some stupid reason you can't tell the color in the 3D window, you have to do a photorender to actually see the color change.
All the countless hours spent messing around trying to change the color when it was changing all along....
OK, so what if I want to show a client a project by "flying" around it in 3D perspective using the explore tool, and have the siding changed to a different color? Do I have to manually update the color in a separate photo software, then bring it back in, as Karl explained?? You should be able to change the color and have it change all around; 3D window, photorender, and the preview box in the material settings.
WISH!
Just to clarify, in case anyone is confused, that the various methods of rendering an Archicad view aren't connected and neither are material definitions. Changing the appearance of a material throughout all rendering methods is a tedious, manual task.
This comes about since Archicad evolves from imaging technology from the last century. Before some of you were even born.
So sorry. Being Canadian, let me apologize for Zoltan and Laszlo who have no doubt been sent to the basement to make outlandish materials as punishment for this oversight.
Things were well connected before LightWorks arrived. Then, a single definition made in the Internal engine renderer controlled color, reflectance and texture mapping. The internal 3D viewer and the Internal rendering engine both referenced these values.
When LightWorks arrived, a whole new way of surfacing came along and the only way to use the existing definitions is through repeated use of the "Match With Infernal Engine" button.
It probably won't get fixed. Rendering is obviously not a Graphisoft priority and ten years ago, when I complained about Archicad's bad materials, I was told "Let them buy the Artlantis shaders…" I think that man descended from Marie Antoinette.
