The cut surfaces of construction elements will have the same colors/surfaces as the uncut edges (as defined in their respective settings dialog boxes).

Use Element Attributes: Click this button to use existing Surfaces & Pencolors/Penweights for highlighting the edges and surfaces of elements cut in 3D Sections.

If there is a Marquee selection made in the Floor Plan, the settings of the Filter Elements in 3D dialog box are observed, but the caption of the 3D window includes the Marquee mention and the range of included stories.Ĭut Surface Display: Use these controls to define the surface and pens for the interior surfaces and edges of 3D Cutaways. The Marquee can affect multiple stories, not just the current story.

This option allows you, for example, to exclude internal elements of a house when you need only external views of the 3D model. Outside Marquee: Elements outside the Marquee will be displayed.Inside Marquee: Elements inside the Marquee will be displayed.Marquee Effect: If you have used the Marquee tool to create a selection area prior to generating the model, use these options to define which part of the project will be shown in the 3D window: If this box is not checked, then any element that falls at least partially inside the story range will be displayed. Trim Elements to Story range: Check this box to clip the model at the story range boundaries.Limited: Specify a continuous range of stories (from/to stories).Stories to Show in 3D: Define the stories of the project to be displayed in the 3D window: To achieve this effect (a default setting in earlier ARCHICAD versions), apply the predefined “Show 3D Zones as Solid” Layer Combination. Note: You may wish to display 3D Zones as solid bodies in shading mode, and all other elements types in wireframe mode. 3D Document Settings to redefine filtering criteria for a 3D Document.
