Having said that you can use the Shaded method with a Sun Azimuth of 0 degrees to make the colors appear at full strength too.

Thanks for all of the replies, however as we are small business, 2 people, buying another program isn't really a good option, and I'm not too sure how to get the elevations from the 3D window.
I did find a solution tho, which was staring me right in the face the whole time... why does that always happen. Instead of selecting 'use material colour - shaded' I needed to select 'use material colour - non shaded'.
Well another step closer to getting the boss to let me use ArchiCAD
