Shaded Walls

Anonymous
Not applicable
I downloaded a DWG from Archicad and now all of my walls are shaded including the openings for the doors. Tried fiddling with fills to no avail. Any suggestions?

Could it be that you have the following checked: Work Enviroment> User Preferences> On-screen options>Automatic Pen color visibility

When the color of an element, like the wall fill in your example, matches the screen background, the program makes the element color slightly different for ease of viewing. It has no affect on the printed output.
