AC27 AUS 3D Display of Zone Spaces

In this reference guide of AC25 below on how to display 3D zone spaces.

https://helpcenter.graphisoft.com/user-guide/76550/

It says: “To achieve this effect, apply the predefined “Show 3D Zones as Solid” Layer Combination.”

No such layer combination exists in AC27 UD1 AUS. So I turned on the zones to display in 3D and switched the 3D display to wireframe but I get a solid bright red background that obscures my view. How do I turn off the solid red 3D background in wireframe mode ?

Looks to me like the 3D display is solid (shaded).

All layers are wire frame except the zone layer.

The zone surface material is semi-transparent.

Hi Barry, in the wireframe mode, in the 3D settings, the plan has a bright red brackround or backdrop. I finally changed the layer set combination to IFC import and that wireframe had a light grey background and that worked once I turned the zone on. Zones in 3D were introduced recently and I wanted to see how it works or looks and if it is suitable for mass modeling and its cool.

Thank you for your reply.
