Pink Walls

I know there is an easy explanation for this, but for the life of me I cannot find in any searches why these walls keep turning pink in my models. Any tutorials or just answers to this?

Guesses:

1. Inverted elements? They are set to be shown in pink with the Use uniform color to highlight inverted elements checkbox in the On-Screen Options panel of the Work Environemnt Dialog.
2. Mark-Up elements? Check your Mark-Up Palette to see if any Mark-Up item is associated with the element.
3. Renovation Filter? They may have a different Renovation Status than the rest of the elements and a Renovation Filter is active that causes them to be displayed with this color (with Surface Override).

I had a similar issue, fixed with
View/On Screen View Options/Trimming bodies

(sometimes it randomly activates)

This is one of the few posts about Inverted Elements. I never knew that existed until I got a warning on a project while trying to export an IFC model. In my case, they were some Complex Profiles that were taller than the height of the wall, which was linked to the story above. Unlinking the top fixed it.

Question is, I still get that error when exporting... and I can't find them! There isn't a way to search for Inverted Elements in Find & Select; I guess you just have to turn all of your pens to black and look for the pink spots. Since I can't find any more, I'm wondering if there's a bug that just keeps bringing up that error, even though it's fixed.

Yes there is.

I stand corrected. Thank you, Barry! I will try to vet out that file this afternoon.
