Hello After the upgrade to archicad 18 i don't seem to be getting the same results on my sketchrenderings .
The shading is to strong and glass is not transparent. i have looked for a way to get transparent glass on sketch renders on this forum for quite some time now without luck. can you help me ?
Attached is the photo of my render using the following settings.
Scene Koh-I-Noor
Engine Sketch
Default Koh-I-Noor settings in enhancements, Sketch line settings Hatch line settings and shadow settings. the 3d window shows glass as transparent

As update 4006 has been retracted, still having this problem. Even setting glass transparency to 100% does not help. I am having to change my window to an open frame (no glass within it) to be see-through.

Quick workaround: save back to ArchiCAD 17 for making the sketchrender?

Reverse problem, does anyone know how to make the sketch render ignore transparancy now in ArchiCAD18? It used to be if you turned off transparancy in 3d window settings you would not see through glass. This doesn't appear to have any effect now.

Hi All,

I realise this is an old topic, however my office is running ArchiCAD 18 SOLO and we are still having the same problems. Is there an update out soon for SOLO that will resolve this? Any insight is greatly appreciated.
