While that might be helpful, a downloaded object might call for materials that aren't in the library.....

I thought he said it was in the library (though it sure ain't in mine)....


But Dwight's point is that if you download the chair from ArchiSmut or sumplace it is not likely to have materials assigned (or controllable) in a way that works with ArchiCAD.

When Chazz posted the image about "use objects materials" this would enable multiple materials called from within the object script.

The object itself should have material options listed in its parameters and if not, you can see these materials by viewing the 3D GDL script of the object.

It is possible that the materials called by the object are not in your attributes. Rename existing materials or create new ones with appropriate names.

If you do not understand the GDL script, consult the GDL reference manual: all Archicad users should have a basic understanding of this language.
