Surface Texture fill exported as solid in PDF

Hi!

 

I use a surface texture on a section which I publish to PDF. On top of this surface texture I have placed a gradient fill. When publishing (or saving, have tried both and with image compressing on and off) the surface texture becomes a solid, depending on the direction of the gradient fill. I can't understand what's going on, or how to fix it.

 

I've included two screenshots, one (with working gradients) is from the layout and one (with some solid fills) is from the exported PDF.

 

Kind regards

Kaj

Dear Kaj,

 

Thank you very much for the report and I am very sorry about the experience!

 

I tried to reproduce this on the latest update for Archicad 25 (4013 - currently available for English and German language), but couldn't reproduce the issue. I'm wondering which Archicad version and build number you are having this problem with? If it is possible, could you please share with me a small version of your project file for in-house testing? Please let me know if you need a secure place to upload the file.

 

Looking forward to hearing from you!

 

Best regards,

Minh

Hi again Minh!

 

I was preparing to share the model with you, when I tried exporting again, and of course, now it works. So, no wonder you can't reproduce the issue when I can't even do it myself in the same model the issue is. So, I guess there's no point in sharing a model that is now working.

 

Kind regards

Kaj
