Check the Model pane in the Window Settings, it may be set to Override Surfaces. If the Model pane is not visible, go to Work Environment > Tool Schemes > Tool Settings Dialog Boxes > Window Tool and make the Model pane visible, it may be hidden in the default WE.

Hello,

Did you perform a migration of AC18 library elements to AC22? On opening the AC22 file you have to submit it. If you did not do this migration then you asked AC22 to keep the elements of AC18 as it is

If you have migrated to the 22 objects then you should see this, where you can control frame and leaf materials independently or uniformly.


If you are still using the 18 objects then they should be exactly the same as they were in 18.

Thank you Barry, I tried with that solution but the door remains of one color (the original that I choose in Archicad 18). Very strange.
