It’s showing the framing space and then the underlay and the carpet is sticking all the way out there. You can see the top of the slab is some type of a carpet texture here, and when I rotate around, you can see that the outside of the slab is showing more detail. So I’ll go to the slab tool and use default settings for the slab and place this to the outside face by clicking quickly here and go to 3D. You can see that each of these walls when I zoom in further you can see how the walls now show up their edges show up with the composition in 3D whereas previously they did not. But as I zoom in we’ll see a little bit more detail than we had before.
When I go to 3D, you’ll see as we would expect the building model. Then I’ll draw a simple set of a couple of walls here and complete them. Switch from the exterior wall that was set as the default and pick an interior partition wall just to get started. Then I will switch to interior walls here and do a couple of walls. And I’m going to go and create a box of walls using the default wall settings. So this is what Graphisoft ships out with ArchiCAD in the United States. So here we have a new file created from the U.S.
In this ArchiCAD video tutorial, I will teach you how to use the new building materials in ArchiCAD 17 to create clean section drawings and beautifully detailed 3D models.

Watch this video to learn how to get control over this powerful set of tools. Graphisoft has convincing demonstrations that show how the sections clean up “automatically”. However, if you assume this cleanup is going to happen when you model in the same way you always have, you may be disappointed. In this video you’ll discover the most important things you need to know about the new Building Materials to enable you to get the best results.
