I am having trouble solving this issue.

I want to be able to retain a white model but also show solid panels on windows that have them in elevation.Screenshot (34).pngScreenshot (35).png

Give the surface used for your solid panel material a 50% hatch (or similar).

Make sure you have 'Surface Cover - Foreground' active (used to be call Vectorial 3D Hatching).
