This is helpful for elevations, but only changes the surface appearance of the wall. Is there an easy way, short of creating a split wall or stacking walls, to have that material change show up in a wall section view?
I’ve used this in very early design process (visualization) and for applying patterns to Floor Surfaces. I’ve also found the Paint assigned to Split Surfaces a bit unstable when I lengthen/shorten walls.
We’ve used it for some preliminary streetscape studies of building facades.
Sometimes we bury a different wall type inside a wall and use the CUT GEOMETRY tool to accommodate material thickness for wall sections. This also allows you to set surface alignment of the new wall independent of the the host wall.
Suggestion. Change the video but same process. Instead of doing a horizontal split. Do a curve split, this will blow the Archicad users mind. In the Archicad forum, it mentioned your method can be done with profile(same in Revit). Show something that is unique with Revit.
Hello. I’m having problems with painting curved surfaces in made from conceptual mass. I want to know if it is possible to paint every panel of the form with different colors?
Again, how can I put voids at curved surface. something like the lower right image in this link=

Thank you! Hope you address this

Was wondering if there is a way to change the color of the surface you just painted? For instance, if you chose to paint a floor with the 4″ Tile Blue material, is there a way to change the color to red?
