Cut Fills In 3D Window (v21 Bug?)

Hi guys. I'm using v21 Build 5010 INT and having a strange problem with 3D representation.

All my cut fills in ALL 3d Windows appear brown colour, regardless of the building material used.

I do not have any Graphic Overrides on. I checked my renovation filters and it's all fine there. I restarted the computer and ARCHICAD. I checked everything else I could think off but nothing helps.

It "seems" that it happened after I purged my attributes. However note that all my Building Materials have valid fills and surfaces. I did try rebuilding the attributes using the older version of the file and bringing everything back "by index". This changed the actual cut colour but did not "fix" the problem!

Has anyone come across this on have any ideas? Image attached.

Check how your cut surfaces are set up in the 3D filter settings.

That's spot on Barry! Strange as I have never gone in to change those settings and my template is set up to USE ELEMENT ATTRIBUTES.

I was minutes away from issuing a set of drawings with ugly brown cut fills! Thanks again. Have a good weekend.
