Curtain wall auto embedded in solid wall doesn't render as glass

hliS658H — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 16:35:35 GMT

I have a curtain wall with sliding door auto-embedded in a solid wall, both the curtain wall and the sliding door use the same glass material, but the curtain wall doesn't show the glass as the sliding door in rendering. I thought it might be because the solid wall overlaps with the curtainwall, so I edited the wall profile by carving out the part of wall overlapping with the curtain wall, but it didn't help. So what are the possible reasons? Thanks!

Which renderer are you using? Also do you have override material in the object override?

Enscape.

No override. I have another curtain wall type using the same glass showing the material correctly in the rendering

Is the curtainwall set to different phase and your phase filter is set to show all? Share the sample so we can take a look.

Set the view to Show Complete.

You need to assign a glass material to the panel type.

Looks like the panel is set to by category

When changing to the same material as sliding door, it will render correctly

Thanks for helping me find out a mistake I made. There are several vision glass families in the project, I meant to use the one under CURT-PNLS- Dbl Glazed, didn't realize the other panel was actually picked in the model.
