Existing walls in renovations

I am creating a perspective and walk-through of a house alteration comprising new and existing walls. New walls show correctly with transparent windows, but existing walls, when shown with 'Planned' status, has grey walls and non-transparent windows (see attached). I need to show these transparent also.

How do change the settings to achieve this?

Kees:

Go to Renovation Filter Options > Renovation Override Styles > Existing Elements and uncheck Material. My guess is that the 'Planned' status has Existing Elements set to Override, and this override is using the Materials option.

You are right. Turning materials off fixes it. Thank you.
