I was hoping that this problem would go away with the new AC 10, but unfortunately it has not. My perspectives all have a magenta/red glow, in eigher open GL or LightWorks (fortunately not with the Internal Engine).
The sun setting in the Perspectgive Settings shows a abig red ball...
The Material Wettings have been reset to pure white and still the red prevails....any ideas for the way to clear it up...?

Thanks, Paul

Your galactic coordinates are not correct. Archicad thinks you are on Superman's home world of Krypton, which has a red sun.

OK we are not coordinated into this world...so...How do I tell this silver box how to set itself correctly ?

Many Thanks, Paul

Is your Sunlight Color and your Ambient Light Color set to White? If not double-click on the color swatches and change them.

White's not the best color (just ask Dwight), but it will be a start.

Cheers,

You've had this problem before? I've never encountered it.

Maybe remove your rose-colored spectacles.

Or check the Sun and Ambient light colours in the 3D projection settings.

Dang you, Link. I knew I should have taken those typing lessons.

Good timing I guess mate, otherwise I have THE fastest two fingers in the west because I am currently on a 28.8kbps connection!

Cheers,

Make sure that not only the city is correctly set (in the 3D menu), but also the planet, looks like Mars.

I would certainly wet myself if I got those results. Watch out for the puppy.

The problem could be that your location is set to Miami in the 1980's.
