Slab white fill showing grey

Jeliel · ‎2022-10-20

I set the fill to be white but it shows as grey not matter what I do.
It isn't shadows or automatic color correction or graphic overrides.

Edit: I forgot to mention that it only appears grey when it's in a plan (3D documents) document. In the general workspace it's white.

When set to Surface - Colour Fill, the 3D document will display the Surface Colour of your material, in this case, Concrete 04.

If you do not wish to change this, you could add a rule to your Graphic Override which will override the pen colour of your desired floor planes. eg. If a slab uses the surface Concrete 04, set Fill Type to foreground and set Fill Foreground Pen to white. Also ensure that the surface type override Cover/Uncut is enabled.

check that you don't have a Graphic Override that turns all slab cover fills to gray.

1. unchecked this option, its picking up the cover fill from the surface.

2. change to background or empty fill.

In the end what is your Objective?
ArchiCAD 9 onwards

It could be that you have the option in the work environment settings to show white or transparent (I think) fills as grey to make them easier to see on screen. I can’t recall the exact setting name but it’s in the work environment.

it’s called Automatic Pen Colour Visibility Adjustment.

This one might also be possible, but it depends on the material setting cause the fill could be tied in with a grey fill.

I also have this issue with ported projects. If you set the background fill with this option it will display white. Otherwise, it is grey.

AC26 shows White as Grey:

This Option makes it show White:

@TJ Admin , that is not a white background.

That pen is the same colour as your screen background - that just happens to be white.

Do me a favour.

Draw a white line on the plan next to the slab.

Does it show grey as well?

If so it is the setting to automatically adjust the colour because it is the same as your background that Lee mentioned in an earlier post.

That's disabled.

Tried that already but didn't work 😕 It just makes it a lighter grey
