Some objects not showing up as white in elevations.

Hello,

I am having a problem with some objects not showing up as white in elevation view. I have a louver that I have assigned a beige color to. It show as beige in the 3D view and it also shows as beige in elevation view even though everything else shows up as white, like it's supposed to. I have had this issue happen with some decorative column objects and downspout objects. I have attached images of 3d view, elevation view and the louveCan anyone think of a setting that my be wrong to make this happen?

check the uncut appearance in your elevation marker settings, try matching the settings from the screen shot here. make sure surface color/fill is not being overridden by graphic overrides or renovation filter.

are your trim boards and the louver object using the same surface? I would expect if they are, the trim should show with a color that would match the louver.

Can you share screen shots of your graphic override rules applied ot the view, and the elevation marker settings?

Thanks! I had the setting set to "Surface - Color Fill, Non-Shaded". I switched to Uniform Pen and it fixed it. However, my windows and some other objects like downspouts use the beige color as well and they show up white so I am still not sure why just the louver is doing this. I've attached a SS of my Graphic Override Settings.

it is very strange. I have used the color option to show elements with a color+fill pattern, but then you end up juggling surface texture vs surface color, and need a jpg of the beige to show correct in 3d and elevation.
Not sure why the rafters weren't showing beige, unless there was a graphic override for them, or there is some kind of "fade distant elements" setting at play
