AC17 wall colour display

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello I'm kinda new to AC and have been trying AC17 for a couple of weeks now and there´s something I haven't been able to figure out. If I create a new project, and draw a composite wall, the skins of the wall display in colours, ie. reddish for the brick, brownish for the insulation and green for the concrete wall, or something like that. But, when I open an AC16 drawing in AC17, walls are displayed in B/W. I´m sure it's probably a small display setting somewhere but for the life of me I haven't been able to figure it out. Any help appreciated.

Looks like the Pen Settings used are different in the version.
Menu Option -> Element Attributes -> Pens and Colors
