RichPiano Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hi guys I want to change the appearance of my slabs, but I can't make it work somehow. This is what I have tried: 1. Set rendering options to "shells". 2. Then chose "object class" for each wall shell. 3. Define the class in the class settings and change shell/object material to the one i wish. But it just doesn't work, the slab stays white (see picture). What am I missing? Quote Link to comment
RichPiano Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) *still relevant What is also very curious is the pavement surface which only shows texture in 3d view put not in top/plan view. How can I make it show texture in top/plan view also? Edited June 11, 2020 by RichPiano Quote Link to comment

Regarding slab: in Render tab of OIP under Mode you can choose from by object or by component. Try these settings. Quote Link to comment

drelARCH Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Just now, RichPiano said: Thanks! But what if I want to show the texture in my sheet layer? set viewport to 'Top' view Quote Link to comment
RichPiano Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 21 minutes ago, drelARCH said: set viewport to 'Top' view Ok "top view" works in the 3d view. But when I set the sheet layer viewport to "top view" it still doesn't show. Compare the screenshot on the left (3D view) to the one on the right (Sheet layer view). Why? Quote Link to comment
drelARCH Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Ok. 1. What type of object are you missing, is it slab, floor...or something else? 2. Have you checked visibility for 'Layers... and Classes...' for missing object (including components) in viewport settings? Hope this helps. Edited June 11, 2020 by drelARCH Quote Link to comment
RichPiano Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 1. it's a way/pavement... idk what the correct translation in english is but it's that in german. 2. layer and classes of the object are set to visible Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Are the Layers/Classes set to visible in the Viewport also? When you click the Layers... and Classes... buttons in the Object Info Palette? If they did not exists or where invisible when the viewport was created then they will be set to invisible in the viewport. You can also set visibilities for viewports from the Organization Dialog box. Quote Link to comment
RichPiano Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 Yes, the corresponding layers and classes are set to be visible in both, 3d view AND viewport. I think i will just extract a surface from the pavement and put it on top... I'm kinda disillusioned with elegant solutions anyway.. Quote Link to comment
