WHY IS EVERYTHING ORANGE AND HOW DO I FIX IT?

I hope someone can help me, 'cause I'm in over my head.  Please see the upload below and tell me what I did to make everything orange, and how do I get out of it.

You seem to have a graphic override active.

Thank you for the response, vistasp.  Would you be kind enough to tell me how I can deactivate the override?  It's probably a dumb question, but I just recently upgraded from AC11 to 25, and I am

thoroughly perplexed. 😕

At the bottom of the screen you will now see a bar where you can quickly change scale, layer combination, Model View Options, pen set, etc.

You will also see an option for the Graphic Override.

You will also find it in the 'Documentation' menu.

Also the view settings will remember the GO that is set for that view - so you will need to make sure each view is set to the correct one.

Hi Barry,

I have tried addressing the graphic override every way I can think of, and my 3D model is still all orange.  Do you have any other suggestions.  I tried starting over, but I ended up with an orange model again.  Quite frustrating.

Hi @Oldguy001

 

Check also your renovation filters, just next to Graphic Overrides. It seems like you might have Change Plan on which is overriding new elements:Screenshot 2021-10-29 at 1.36.26.png

Above suggestions are all correct, but I'm going with Dutch world cup fever.

 

It could maybe also be the trimming bodies, depending on how that shows up on your settings.

Just thought of another explanation: you might have tried out the Surface Painter palette and actually turned everything orange with that. In case you were playing around with the software to get a feel for things and what they do.
