Door 3D view simplified, not MVO

Hello, I was working in plan copying a door to an exterior wall using the eye dropper tool.  When I looked at the door in 3D it no longer has any detail and assumes the surface of the wall, only an outline of the opening is visible. In plan it looks correct. This has happened in another file and I had to import a door from an outside file to then apply those settings and have it look correct again.  Any idea why this is happening?  I checked into the Model View Options and they are "full" for doors (the door 3D detail level is set to MVO), and as you can see in the image below, the garage doors are shown in full detail so it seems to be specific to this door.

 

Below are before and after images

My mistake! I accidently added it as a "demo" object.

What do you mean with demo object?

It was classified as "to be demolished" when I inserted it in the wall. That was my default setting when the file was opened for some reason.
