Your w.c. tank is also brick-filled. If these things are all really 'surface-white', then perhaps somehow you changed the fill for that material.

Go to Options | Materials to get the Materials Settings dialog. Select your white material at the top. In the "3D Hatching" panel, check to see what fill you have selected. The 'factory' setting is 'Empty Fill'.

That's one easy possibility anyway...

Strange. The screenshots helped confirm this is a weird one ... but also show that you have version 7.0 (it seems?). PLEASE change your signature (click Profile) to include your AC version as this can make a difference. It might be a bug in 7.0 that is fixed in the current release?

Sorry I wasn't any help. Maybe someone else has an idea?

Can you send the module of the bath here? Zip it, of course!

How old is the basin library part? I vaguely recall some older parts not showing their contours correctly in elevation. Perhaps you should try a different one.

This is definitely strange.

I don't remember any such problems in AC7. Do the parts show up in 3D? I wonder if the default 3D pen is one you have set to white. What color is your screen background?

i've seen the objects in 3d and sections and there's not problem...it's just the interior elevations that the objects are not showing...

Are you saying that they elevate correctly with the section tool? If you are using the interior elevation feature (in the tools menu) the problem could be with that. It is an add-on function which doesn't work very well yet. I recommend using the section tool (with vertical and depth limits) to set up interior elevations.

thanks......about the sections. i am noticing that when i delete any sections, the section identification numbers doesn't return to 1. how do i reset the numbers other than manually change in the setting box?

There is no other way.

The numbers will increment from whatever default is manually entered.
