Remarks

Featuring API 17  In Archicad 17 the the elements’ cut fill foreground and background pens inherit from the building material, and can be overridden on the element level.

Featuring API 17  In Archicad 17 the the elements’ surface materials inherit from the building material, and can be overridden on the element level.
