I have a railing with wooden (pine) associated to it in 3D.

Unexpectedly, and shockingly, the material has changed to clear water or glass. see attached.
All settings are still correct.
Mystery ? I cant seem to reset to pine.

Even if i redraw from new - the assigned material is appearing as water(glass as shown.

Look at MVO > Railing Options: if set to Simplified or Schematic, then click the Options... button to set the Surface.

As Barry said MVO = Model View Options, and they are saved as part of the View (similar to Layer Combinations, Scale, etc.).

Thanks for adding your Signature.
