Canted wall surfaces

The faces of my canted walls have the same surface in 3d, even when I select different materials in the Selection Settings. Any suggestions?

Hi Barry,
More info: I copied and pasted the canted wall in question into a new file and did not have the same problem, so apparently it has to do with some setting in my current project. I'm attaching the mod file, as requested. The mod file has the same problem.

I am not sure exactly what is happening here.
When I add the MOD to the AUS template it all seems OK to me.

Each wall is using a different structure (building material) which means they have different surface materials.
But when I override the surfaces they both appear the same and render fine.

I am not sure why they would render differently in that one file so long as there are no renovation filters or graphic overrides active.
