Good morning,
in a file I received from a friend, there is a strange behavior:
even selecting different materials in the doors, for the leaf, glass, jambs, the door is then displayed in 3d with a single material. As if there was a graphic overwrite, which instead I do not see in the list of overwrites.
The windows instead work correctly.
Do you have any idea what it could be?
Thanks for the suggestions.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Check the Model pane in the Door 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 > Door Tool and make the Model pane visible, it may be hidden in the default WE.
