Materials not showing true:

Anonymous — Thu, 11 Jul 2019 16:32:45 GMT

I have a railing with wooden (pine) associated to it in 3D.

Unexpectedly, and shockingly, the material has changed to clear water or glass. see attached.
All settings are still correct.
Mystery ? I cant seem to reset to pine.

Even if i redraw from new - the assigned material is appearing as water(glass as shown.

Look at MVO > Railing Options: if set to Simplified or Schematic, then click the Options... button to set the Surface.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

As Barry said MVO = Model View Options, and they are saved as part of the View (similar to Layer Combinations, Scale, etc.).

Thanks for adding your Signature.
