![]() ![]() ![]() There are solid fills, gradient, vectorial, symbol, and image fills, and gradients allow you to do either linear or a radial one, and when you have it selected, you can see it’s starting here and going towards there and changing from one color to another, and you can simply choose any color in your pen palette. It’s just one of the many fills that ARCHICAD offers. So, how did the gradient fill get put in? It’s basically just a fill that’s been put in manually. Let’s go back here, and let’s just look at that gradient fill. When I switch to the construction document view, the rendering, the gradient fill goes away. In the presentation view, we have no overrides. Now, how do we go back and forth between color and non-color? Well, it turns out that it has to do with overrides. The sun shadows are turned on, in this case, with polygons 25%, in terms of the amount of coloring there of a neutral black, so that’s the setting that I’m using for all my elevations. This gives them a standard sort of look, and you can tell the depth of things more easily. Now the sun shadows are not based on a particular sun position. That’s what’s representing the shingles and the stonework there, and we have some sun shadows. It means that the shadows here are not going to have any tint. I found through experiment that non-shaded actually gives the best result in terms of flexibility. You can have them a uniform color like white, or you can give them shading such as these colors representing the surfaces. In the model display section, the uncut elements, which are the surfaces we’re looking at here, have a choice, and you can make them just empty. In fact, all of the elevation markers have the same settings. So, it turns out that both of these are the same elevation marker, and it’s possible to switch back and forth between them by using different view settings, so let’s look at the elevation settings for this marker on the floor plan. So, this is, I would say, a rather pretty view compared to the construction document, which has a little bit more serious look with annotation, dimensions, etc. Now, let’s take a look at how we can go from a simple, sketchy view like this to a rendered elevation, so here is a view of the same elevation, but with color and shadow and all the rest. #ARCHICAD 18 TUTORIALS HOW TO#In the first one in the series, I showed you how to create sketch views, where you have simple views for the plan with squiggly lines to make them look more tentative and sketchy as well as for elevations and sections, and even 3D views. #ARCHICAD 18 TUTORIALS SERIES#This ARCHICAD video tutorial is the second in my series of ARCHICAD Design Views, where I show you different ways that you can use view settings to look at and present your model.
