AC10 - pocket door problem

[Anonymous]

Pocket Door shows solid black in the cavity - how do I change this to solid white? Have tried all kinds of parameters and options and nother thing seems to change this...I would appreciate if any one knows how to adjust this...

check the 'floor plan cut plane settings'
and
'model view options'

Thanks - I have tried a number of these settings options - but still can't seem to change the color of the cavity -- except in the model view settings...but then the cavity turns the same color as the framing..

I looked through the floor plan cut plane settings -- but am not sure how this would change what is visible -- other than the height of the cut...

is this a wall specific setting? or a door specific setting? It seems the cut surfaces settings for walls impact the way the doors appear in AC10...

thanks again - and I appreciate any follow up comments. tc

hmm...I must have some kind of embedded setting that I am missing...I tried the 'D2 pocket 10' and still have the same problem with the double door..I tried changing model view settings as well as my environment...but can't seem to find what's causing this...

The default background cavity colour is being automatically assigned to a non-white pen. You need to find the pen number and change it to white. Unfortunately you can't specify the number within the part.

I came across this problem using the international version with favourites I set up with the Australian version. I had to change pen 17 to white as the pocket door cavity fill was assigning itself to 17 rather than pen 91 which is generally used as the white pen.

This problem has come about with the introduction of multiple pen sets and not being able to specify the cavity fill pen.

that sounds logical - thanks...how did you find the pen number for the background?

Trial & error by changing groups of pens to white.
