ArchiCAD TECH Tip - Show & re-align the Vectorial Fill (Hatch) in internal Elevations & Section drawings


This ArchiCAD Tech Tip article covers the basics about "How to Show & re-align the Vectorial Fill (Hatch) on internal Elevations & Section drawings". A client inquired with us on how this could be achieved.
Align 3D Texture & Vector Fill
Picture

so here's how to Show & re-align the Vectorial Fill (Hatch) in internal Elevations & Section drawings

For this operation you will work with the following:
1.     “Element Attributes” first to confugure (Options > Element Attributes > ???)
         a.     the Fill Type
         b.     the Surface settings
         c.     the Building Material settings
2.     the Wall settings (as example – or other model element like Roofs, Slabs, Beams, Columns, Shells, Morphs and Meshes)
3.     the Section settings (as example – also applies to Elevation & Internal Elevation settings)
4.     in the 3D Window go to Design Menu & use the > Align 3D Tecture > Set Origin command

Step 1: Create or check that your project file has the Fill that you want for this surface
Picture
Step 2: from the Surface settings, go to the Surface you want to use for the Wall (or other model element). Now assign the correct Vectorial Fill for this Surface as prepared before

Picture
Step 3: in the Building Material setting now assign the correct Surface as prepared before

Step 4: in the Wall setting now assign the correct Building Material as prepared before
Picture
Picture
Step 5: in the Section settings - switch on the “Vectorial 3D Hatching” tick box (also applies to Elevation & Internal Elevation settings)

Picture
Step 6: now open the 3D Window to view the model elements that you want to work with.
Select the Wall (or other model element) end from the Design Menu & activate the > Align 3D Tecture > Set Origin command

Picture
Step 7: with the cursor click at the required point where you want the Texture Origin to be
Picture
Step 8: Whe you open the Section or Elevation you will see that the Vectorial 3D Hatching will also aligns to the same point

We have a composite wall, where the exterior surface is a panelled cladding, and the internal surface is a timber lining. How does the above technique work when the wall building material and associated fill is not relevant to the different surface textures?

Hi "Alts01" thanks for visiting our site and your question.

This technique work 100% for single skin model elements as well as those made with Composites.

The key here is to understand the inter connection / association between ARCHICAD's Attributes. Especially the Building Materials, Surfaces and Fills (Cut Fills & Cover Fills).

From your last sentence my guess is that you could be confusing the Cut Fill of the Building Material and the Cover Fill of the Surface.

> The Cut Fill of the Building Material will display when the model element (Wall, Slab, Roof, Mesh, Column, Beam, etc) are in section on ie. Plan views, Sections, Details, 3D Documents etc.

> The Cover Fill of the Surfaces (in Building Material or Model Surface Overrides) will display when the model element (Wall, Slab, Roof, Mesh, Column, Beam, etc) are in Elevation on ie. Plan views, Sections, Elevations (& Internal Elev) Details, 3D Documents etc.

Thus, where you want to see the fill, will determine where to assign the fill: to the Surfaces or Building Material.

I hope this makes sense and helps you to solve the issue on your model.

If you need more help, send me a message with your email address and more info about your particular file attributes on our Contact page www.fusionbim.co.za/contact.html From there we can exchange screenshots and more detailed notes if needed.

Regards
Francois
