No stone look

[Anonymous]

Basic question.
I Don't use the rendering much so can't remember why my stone material is not showing up on 3d view on screen or printing.
It doesn't seem to matter what stone or rock I choose.
Any ideas much appreciated.

are you an architect or a doormat?

it really depends what's been tendered for, doesn't it? if the client doesn't want a step-over, well they're paying the bills: you tell the builder to scabble or bugger off.

worryingly - and yet another sign of a half-arsed feature implementation - you cannot use these image fills for any kind of 'cover' fill application. you really are limited to manual embellishment.

since that is probably the first and most useful place for them, it reveals just how little graphisoft really care about how we're meant to use archicad. it's just more flash and bang with little substance behind it. another box ticked on the feature list.

i wish i'd give image fills a little attention during beta now . . .
