Glass railing appears as brick

Hi, I just started with archicad 1 month ago so this might be a dumb question but my glass material on railings appears as being brick (see pictures) .

How can I get it to be actual glass?

[On windows and doors glass appears correctly, it's just happening in this specific thing.]

 

Could someone help me? Thank you!

Select the Railing, then in its settings dialog box look at Railing > Segment > Panels > Panel Component Settings > 3D Representation > Building Materials and Surfaces.

 

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
