Is the layer that the mesh is on in Wireframe state?

Is the 3D display in wireframe?

Are eny errors reported while generating the 3D?

Dont know about the wireframe stuff but other slabs on the same level appear solid

There is a problem with your mesh. I suspect the holes might be it.

Try not to cut holes in the shape of the snaking path (road?) but place the mesh a bit lower. If you do need to indent the road in the mesh, use Solid Elements Operations.

Also, download and try ArchiTerra by Cigraph.

There are no holes in the mesh, it is just a mesh between the at the front of the image and the curving road... then there are other meshes in the gaps between the path

what is this architerra program?
