can you not make a new material, same colour but different name, and asign that to the adjoining materials?

or does it not work that way??

I've put a request through to the reseller to ask the developer about it. We'll see what happens, though I'm not too hopeful.

You can't set different materials to the door panels themselves. So, no. Crying or Very sad

I would imagine the D3 Smart Parts aren't all that simple in their scripting.
I don't have them so I have no idea how complex they are.

Steven, to add to Barry's comments.
If their scripts are locked then there is nothing you can do
except ask the maker to help fix your problem.


Just for what it is worth the D3 parts are not locked (at least not the ones I have - perhaps that has changed) and are fairly straight forward in there coding. I have found them a great example for learning GDL. They are much nicer for that effort than the standard Graphisoft parts we have now days.

Then if Steven wants to make available the part I'd be happy to help fix the problem.
The maker should offer to do this as it would be in his interest when selling his parts.

You can contact Neil through his web site. He has always been helpful for me, and has fixed bugs when made aware of them.

One of my issues is with rendering. I want to do an interior rendering of a kitchen with a boatload of cabinets, but when I go to render, the drawer lines and lines between doors on the cabinets disappear.

Can anyone tell me where the magic button is?


One method that I like using when producing kitchen renders is making a sketch render to bring out the lines that may not show up in bare archicad renders and/or lightworks renders. Using a sketch render over your rendering will make your drawer lines and lines between doors on the cabinets appear. I'll attach a sample. Hope this helps.
