Yes, there is a button next to the surface pop-up that disables this override. When that button is pressed, the surface override pop up will become inactive and the object will use the parametric surfaces.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

Check the Model pane in the dialog box to see if the Surface is being overridden.
