Hollow AC22 objects? What causes this?

rob2218 — Fri, 24 May 2019 00:41:01 GMT

So..I've added the AC22 library to a file (PLN) I'm working with a client that we exchange PLA's back and forth with, this time it appears that objects coming from the AC22 Library folder (added in using Library Manager) come in "hollow" (meaning I can see the outline but not the material).

What causes this?
Any suggestions on how to fix?
Thanks,

(see attached image).

Sure they are not on a layer with wireframe turned on?

I checked that...nope, they are NOT on a layer which was changed to "wireframe".
Sure does behave like they are but I've taken selected "ALL" layer and made sure none were set to "wireframe" and the objects still look like you see in the image........hollow, wire-framed.

What else?

Rob:

Check if they are assigned a transparent surface, like glass.

David!

Send me your address via PM. This is the 2nd time you’ve come thru for me. Your “materials” suggestion resolved the issue.
It seemed an architect I work with stuck his fat thumb in a button he shouldn’t have.....”Override Materials” button and set all these objects to “AirSpace” as the materials........go figure.

Again, please PM me your contact address. i’d Like to repay the help.
