When I opened my Elevation it showed all black. First time happening to me. What should I do?

If you are not deliberately using a black background, then the first thing I would try is to restart your machine.

Not some macOS darkmode setting / interaction? Given that your contours are all white, it is almost as if the hardware accelerated window is having it's colours inverted.

I don’t know. That’s never happened to me. Does being a copy/paste from another archicad document have anything to do with it?

It shouldn't do.

Is the floor plan view background black as well?

Are other elevations or sections black?

Yes, also the sections. The plans and 3D are both fine

I always thought that plans, elevations and sections use the same background (3D is different).

I have never seen them different to each other.

Check the background colour and maybe change it to something else and then change it back to white (I personally use a very pale green - easier on the eye and I can still see white lines as white colour).

Perfect. I’ll tell you if it works. Thank you
