Hi all, is there any way to tell archicad witch height do you want to put for material. I want to put ceramics in kitchen but to 1.6m from floor not all 2.6m. I can make it by making 2 wall one that is 1.6 tall and other from 1.6 to 2.6 with paint on wall. But is there other way to do it??

There are accessory objects that place trim on walls that you could use for your tiled surfaces, or just place a 10mm thick wall over the main walls (on a layer that is seen in 3D views but probably not plan), and stop and start the tile wall each side of openings.

An alternative would be to use a Complex Profile wall. You would use a fill with a node at the 1.6m height and assign a different material above and below that node (image below). Not the easiest to maintain if you want variations on these materials as each would need their own C.P.
