Appearance of Taps

Hi guys,

Anyone know how I change the way these taps look so when I scroll throught them i can actually see them!?

Turn off  show rendered appliances is prob your only option.

Found in the appliance section.

Done like this Jayne...

Be aware it will reset your plan so best to save and new in a blank drawing before doing it!:

I always wondered about this, such a shame these kind of things exist in £3k+ software!

Just change your default tap from chrome to like smoked mirror, delete you thumbnails folder in ArtiCAD/Kitchen/Thumbnails, reload articad and ReRender thumbnails - Easiest way to re render all thumbnails is once you load ArtiCAD put a sink/tap in and select "show all manufacturers" in the drop down - it may appear articad freezes but it is actually rendering still in the background your CPU is just having a spaz, leave it for a minute and tada see your taps.

Redways, along with almost all rendering engines default chrome uses a white reflection - when rendered in a white environment with white light = your invisitaps

Now before someone says just go into thumbnails and delete that particular folder - that can cause more issues than happiness, not saying it will but just delete the entire folder and save the agg.

*Argument back, it renders better with the chrome predefined that smoked mirror on most taps so just do what Darrel and joe have done.

Btw if your chrome ever has weird black on edges of faces of the mesh make the transparency value 0.1 in the materials settings and it works perfect
